This protection can be provided via student anonymity. A subject-generated identification code, comprised of responses to a series of questions, can link data across time points while protecting student anonymity. Method Two studies, focused on palliative care education, used a subject-generated identification code to link student data across multiple time points. Refinements to the code were made between studies to further enhance anonymity and response consistency. Results The subject-generated identification code fostered linking of student responses across three time points in study one and two time points in study two. Conclusion There are many benefits to utilizing a subject-generated identification code in nursing education studies. Researchers must consider the need for a data management expert and balancing transposition errors and the power to differentiate between responses. Highlights • Educational research with students risks power differentials. • Protection of student anonymity can mitigate the power differential. • A subject-generated identification code facilitates anonymous student survey completion. • Data can still be linked across time points. • Educational researchers should use subject-generated identification codes in research. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
