Dear Potential Survey Participant:

I am a nursing student in the Department/ Division/College of Medicine at the University

of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I am conducting a research to study the factors influencing

autonomy in nursing practice.

I am requesting your participation, which will involve a 37 questions survey, which will

take approximately 15 minutes or less of your time. Your participation in this study is

voluntary. If you choose not to participate or to withdraw from the study at any time,

there will be no effects to your job performance evaluation. If at any time you discontinue

the survey, your results will be discarded. The results of the research study may be

published, but your name will not be used.

There are no anticipated risks, however there might be boredom or emotional distress, so

we included UTC's Counseling and Personal Development Center's phone number

423-425-4438. There will be no direct benefit to participants, however they may benefit

in the future when the information is added to the body of knowledge.

If you have any questions concerning the research study, please email Kate Kemplin at

[email protected] or me at [email protected].

This research has been approved the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's

Institutional Review Board. If you have any questions about your rights as a subject/

participant in this research, or if you feel you have been placed at risk, you can contact

Dr. Amy Doolittle, the Chair of the Human Subjects Committee, Institutional Review

Board at 423-425-5563. Additional contact information is available at Institutional Review Board.

You must be 18 or older to participate. Return of the questionnaire will be considered

your consent to participate. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Peyton Spies (Primary Investigator) [email protected]
