APOLOGIES FOR ANY CROSS POSTINGS

Dear colleague, 

As an expert in your field, you have been invited to participate in this consensus study examining the factors influencing best practice approaches to facilitate student learning in the clinical setting. 

We are currently seeking registered nurses who are Clinical Nurse Educators, and have five or more years’ experience as nurse educators in the clinical setting to participate in our study. 

The study aims to identify factors that influence best practice approaches to facilitation of student learning in the clinical setting. Understanding these factors will inform future preparation programs for nursing students and clinical facilitators thus improving the quality of student learning in the clinical setting.

You will form part of an expert panel that will be consulted via online surveys for your opinion on factors you believe are important in facilitating student learning in the clinical setting. The factors listed within the survey have been identified from an extensive literature search. It is anticipated that a maximum of 3 online surveys will be needed in order to gain consensus on the topic. We will require your email address in order to send out subsequent rounds of surveys, however, responses to questions will not be linked to your email address and confidentiality will be maintained at all times. 

A Plain Language Statement (PLS) explaining the nature of the research and your commitment, if you chose to participate, is attached to this email for your information.

If you decide to participate please complete the online survey at: https://deakinsurveys.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6PzlqATLr2HxyCN It will take approximately 20 minutes to complete the first survey. 

We greatly appreciate your participation and your answers will be extremely valuable and guide future practice.
