I am conducting research to determine the nursing stress and burnout in the work environment. Description ofthe Project:

Participationin the project involves completing a survey composed of questions involvingstress and burnout in the work environment. It will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete the survey.

Benefits and Risks of this Study:

The study will help to develop a base of knowledge fornursing stress and burnout. It will also determine the correlation of a staff nurse'sknowledge and whether or not they are doing anything to fix the situation. Theresearch is important because a majority of a source of stress is workrelated. When there is work-relatedstress that is left unaddressed there are potential for other problems to occursuch as decreased productivity, employee turnover, less retention, absenteeismand a variety of physical conditions. Thereare no risks identified to this study.

Your questions look like they're missing some prompts, such as "How often do you:" for the first page. Also, I question your use of a 4pt scale rather than an odd-numbered likert scale. Also, where it asks me to enter my "number of years in the field and highest level of education" there's no place for me to enter them. I find your survey rather flawed, and am surprised your instructor and IRB let you put this out on the web.

You do have IRB approval...right?
