Study on Nurses' Work and Well-Being Needs Volunteers

02/07/2019

A research study about the influence of working in nursing on employee well-being and success seeks volunteers. The goal is to identify ways to optimally help support nurses and caregivers.

Participants should be 18 to 89 years of age, currently employed as a nurse, work more than one shift on average per week and identify as working with “high severity” or “high risk” patients.

This study is a four-wave panel longitudinal design that will include administration of self-report online questionnaires (20 minutes long each) to nurses weekly for four consecutive weeks.

Participants will be compensated with a $5 Amazon gift card for each survey they participate in and a total of $20 possible in Amazon gift cards for participating in all four surveys.

Participants will also have one entry into a raffle for a $25 Amazon gift card for each survey they participate in and four entries possible for participating in all four surveys.

The survey is available here.

The Institutional Review Board (IRB) protocol for the study is #29709 and it was approved on December 4, 2018.
