Dear Advanced Practice Registered Nurse:
We are conducting research on APRNs’ experiences with prescribing or providing schedule II-IV controlled substances.
This questionnaire is a follow-up to our 2014 Florida Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner Survey. The study explores professional, legal, educational and organizational factors that influence nurse practitioners’ experiences with prescribing or providing schedule II-IV controlled substances. We are asking for your participation in the study, regardless of whether you participated in the first survey.
The data from this study will be used to provide you and other APRNs with accurate information for decision-making related to schedule II-IV controlled substances. It will also be used to change the legal and regulatory environment as well as to improve nurse practitioner education. This information will be shared with advanced practice nurses in other states who can benefit from our experience in Florida. We may use the information obtained in this study in the future for two purposes: to compare Florida nurse practitioners with nurse practitioners in other states and to survey Florida APRNs to see if their experiences change over time.
Participation in the survey is completely voluntary and your return of the questionnaire will be interpreted as your consent to participate. You may choose to not respond to any question. Identifying information will not be collected to ensure confidentiality and anonymity. The data collected in this study will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. Collected data will be coded and de-identified through FSU’s Qualtrics survey software. Email and IP addresses will not be linked to survey responses. Only members of the research team will have access to data. The data you provide will only be used for the specific research purposes of this study. Responses will be anonymous and reported only in aggregate with the responses of other APRNs.
The questionnaire should take about 10 minutes to complete. If you have any questions or concerns, contact us by email at lmw16b@my.fsu.edu and acraigrodriguez@fsu.edu or call Lauren Weissing at 772-678-1745. You may also contact Florida State University Human Subjects office by email at humansubjects@fsu.edu or via phone at 850-644-7900. Please remember that we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of any information sent by e-mail.
We would be deeply grateful if you would take the time to complete our survey.
Thank you for your support of advanced practice nursing!
