I work in a hospital as a Nurse Educator and I intend to conduct an online survey research study using a quantitative approach. I obviously have an Outlook Group (email) where I could send information to everyone in the department. However, I am only looking into recruiting Registered Nurses for my quantitative research study. I think it is not ethical to approach Managers to advertise my study as this would seem like coercing people. I am not sure if having a gatekeeper who also works in Education would be allowed. Can anyone please advise what is best please?
First, select researchers randomly based on their background profile (CV), and then train them virtually in all aspects of survey research and employ them temporarily with attractive payments.
Hello Daryl Eborda, I think using outlook / email to your group would depend upon several factors including how long/ time the survey will take and whether you consider it needs ethical approval. If just a short survey maybe 5-10 minutes, I would think it is fine, but if it is something like 1 hour I would use either a gatekeeper or ethics firstly. Also depends upon how intrusive your questions are, whether you've explained deidentification properly, all these considerations maybe best handled by a gatekeeper.
