Abstract
Research surveys are believed to have originated in antiquity with evidence of them being performed in ancient Egypt and Greece. In the past century, their use has grown significantly and they are now one of the most frequently employed research methods including in the field of healthcare. Modern validation techniques and processes have allowed researchers to broaden the scope of qualitative data they can gather through these surveys such as an individual's views on service quality to nationwide surveys that are undertaken regularly to follow healthcare trends. This article focuses on the evolution and current utility of research surveys, different methodologies employed in their creation, the advantages and disadvantages of different forms and their future use in healthcare research. We also review the role artificial intelligence and the importance of increased patient participation in the development of these surveys in order to obtain more accurate and clinically relevant data.
