Staff online survey

As well as focus groups, an online survey will be distributed to staff. Focus groups capture collective views and group interactions. However, organ donation is a personal topic and some staff may prefer to express opinions privately than in a group. An online survey will help elicit as many views of the intervention in terms of feasibility as possible.

Following completion of the focus groups, an online survey will be distributed to all trained staff members. No incentives will be used to recruit staff; however, a reminder email will be sent approximately 2 weeks following the first email. A final reminder email, with the same content, will be sent at 4 weeks following the first email. Staff will be informed that this survey aims to capture any experiences or views that they do not feel comfortable sharing in the focus groups or anything they forgot to mention during the focus group.

The online survey will be qualitative and consist of 13 open questions. Prior to answering these questions, staff will be presented with an information sheet and consent form. Consent will be gained via ticking boxes on Qualtrics and the survey should take approximately 10 min.
