FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some questions you might have about this study:

​

What will I be doing as a study participant?

Over a 12-month period, you'll be invited to participate in:

(1) a focus group at the middle and the end of the study respectively (2 x up to two hours); and

(2) a focused conversation (up to 50 minutes) about your challenging and/or positive workplace interaction(s) every three months (4 x 50 minutes).

I'll also ask you to review and comment on conversation and focus group transcripts. At the end of the study, I'll give you a summary of my findings for your feedback.

Our conversations and focus group meetings will be held in a private meeting room at mutually convenient times, days, and locations or via videoconferencing (e.g., Zoom). 

​

What will I be provided with to participate in this study?

I sincerely appreciate your time and effort in attending our conversations and focus group meetings, especially in the current nursing environment. I'll consequently provide you with the following:

• refreshments for in-person conversations / focus group meetings;

  
  

• a petrol voucher (or similar) when you attend in-person or Zoom conversations and/or focus group meetings; and 

  
  

• entry into a lucky draw prize for movie tickets at every focus group meeting.

In addition, you'll benefit from the opportunity to engage in personalised reflective practice for your professional and personal development as a registered nurse.

How will my privacy be protected?

All participants’ responses are private and confidential. In no case will any information you give me about your own nursing experiences and/or your workplace interactions be released or communicated to your employer and/or a government agency. Your participation in, and contribution to, this study will remain confidential to me, my supervisors, and others within the focus group.
