Research: Nurse Managers

Published

Specializes in Health Communication and Patient Experience.

Hello! I am a doctoral candidate at the University of Kentucky, and am conducting dissertation research. I am seeking inpatient unit nurse managers or assistant nurse managers (current or within the last 5 years) to take part in a 35- to 45-minute virtual Zoom interview sharing experiences about being accountable for patient experience scores (e.g., HCAHPS). All interviews will be confidential, and those who participate in an interview will receive a $75 Amazon gift card. Those interested may indicate such through completion of an interest questionnaire at this link: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3qTekUkxf7sP5Ua. This is an IRB-approved study and detailed informed consent documentation will be provided prior to interviews. Feel free to share this link to those who may qualify. You may respond to this post with additional questions. Thank you so much for considering this research opportunity!

Thanks so much to those who have requested to participate in this relevant research! I'm really learning alot from nurse managers about what it's like to be accountable for HCAHPS scores. To ensure that a diversity of perspectives is reflected, I would really value weigh-in on this topic from others who qualify to participate. Simply complete the interest questionnaire at the link above (within the initial post). Or with questions, reply to this post and I will gladly respond. Again, thanks for the response so far!

Hello! I've had three responses -- a good start for a qualitative exploration (though I would value additional insight from others). Thanks for asking!

Hello, and thanks again to those who have requested to participate in this study. It is coming along nicely and I'm enriched by all of the insight I am receiving! I still do need another 5 or 6 interviews (35 to 40 minutes long), so again invite any nurse managers or assistant nurse managers to share their experiences managing and being accountable for patient experience scores. Those who participate will receive a $75 Amazon gift card. If interested you may indicate such through completion of an interest questionnaire at this link: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3qTekUkxf7sP5Ua.

Again, thanks so much for considering this research!

Hello! I  just wanted to express my appreciation to those who have participated in  my research.  It's been such a privilege to gain  so much insight  from  nurse managers throughout the United States! I am winding down with the information-gathering phase, but feel that  one or two more interviews would help to fortify the information I've already collected. 

So if you are a current  or recent nurse manager or  assistant nurse manager that has been  held accountable for HCAHPS, you might be interested  in participating. Those who participate will receive a $75 Amazon gift card. I will conduct interviews  until  May 19. Simply complete the questionnaire at this link and I  will  connect with you: https://uky.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3qTekUkxf7sP5Ua

Again, thanks so much! I look forward to sharing my results!
