Help with evidence based nursing practice class

I'm currently in an Evidence-Based Nursing Practice class and I have a simple question I think I know the answer to already but want to get confirmation that I'm right.

What question is who are the subjects of this study? I believe it is just the mothers of the hospitalized children (ages 1-12 years of age).

Here is the scenario:

As a member of an IRB (Institutional Review Board) of a local hospital, you have been asked to

review a research proposal submitted by several nurses practicing on a pediatric unit at your

facility. With the rising concern regarding child abuse, these nurses propose to conduct a selfcompleted

2-page survey of all mothers of hospitalized children (ages 1-12 years of age)

admitted during the month of January 2010. The survey will specifically address parental views

on disciplinary methods appropriated for this age range of children.

Also, from what I gather it is the nurses filling out the survey. Am I right? Not the mothers.

Any input will set my anxiety at ease! THANK YOU!!! :yeah:

    Self completed could mean the mothers would fill out the form or the nurses..the way its worded it a little hard to determine.

    The mothers are the subjects responding but the subject itself is parental discipline.

    I think the moms are going to complete the survey -- and the moms are the research subjects. The moms will be surveyed about the attitudes about discipline.

    Thanks guys. I knew I was right about who the subjects were at least. But I wanted to be sure so I didn't blow my entire midterm if I so happened to be wrong. Greatly appreciate it.
