Dear Nursing Community, My team and I are BioMedical Engineers are Arizona State University. We are conducting a research study to see if there is a link between nursing and back pain. To answer this question we created a quick online survey which can be accessed at:

http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=d55_2fZBYyegeQX2eVuY8K4A_3d_3d

For us to receive the most accurate information please don’t conduct the survey if you are not a Nurse. Below is further information about the survey. Thanks again for all your responses.

Dear Participant,
We, as engineering students from the Ira A. Fulton School of
Engineering at ASU, are asking for your help with our senior design
project. Our involvement in the medical field has brought to our
attention that many medical personnel suffer from back pain due to
their lifting of patients. Our project goal as medical engineers is
to design and build a device to assist with the lifting of patients.
However, we must prove that this device is demanded by medical
personnel in order to receive funding. If you could take a minute and
complete this survey that would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any comments/suggestions about our study? Any feedback would be great.

Thank You.

Didn't look at your survey, but just wanted to comment that I learned in Nursing Research that internet surveys are not considered high quality data. It's basically a "convenience" type of data that is not all that credible in terms of valid research.

Your absolutely right AC, we are also conducting this survey in local hospitals for more accurate results.
