The instrument lab can help you find or create your own instruments to use in your next research project.
Use the List of Measures Available in the CNR to begin your search for the various measurement tools available. Use the drop-down menus in this Microsoft Excel spreadsheet to see measures sorted by specific constructs, populations, patient diagnosis, type of tool or instrument and author. Once you have completed your search, you can save it by using the save command in the file menu to save a copy to your computer. Hyperlinks to some online measures are included for ease of access. Nursing students and faculty may use hard copies of all the measures on this list in the CNR Library. CNR RAs are available to assist you. It is your responsibility to obtain all copyright permission for any measures you wish to use in a research study. Some measures are in the public domain as is noted on the spreadsheet.
