The study used 251 nurses from a variety of departments. This is an adequate number that can be used to represent a large group. The participants were given four questionnaires in total.

All of these nurses were part of a large health care system. Participants were told why the study was being done and were ensured confidentiality. The study was not mandatory for their work.<\/p>\n<p>Rating: 3<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are good quantitative data collection procedures used?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The participants were given four questionnaires in total and data was collected regularly at staff meetings.

It is particularly important that one questionnaire on the topic of job satisfaction was given, as this was a crucial point of interest for the study.
