“…Moreover, the researchers in our study were physically available to address nurses’ concerns. Having access to researchers in a relatable way increases the likelihood of successful recruitment of participants (Coyne et al, 2016; Luck, Ng Chok, & Wilkes, 2017).…”

“…Each of the co-investigators described the experience of recruiting for this study to be more difficult than what they had previously experienced in other studies. During times of extreme political and environmental variance, the recruitment of nurses from all demographic backgrounds increases in complexity (Luck et al, 2017). According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2019), the representation of racial-ethnic minority nurses is only 19% among the total registered nurse population in which ethnic minority nurses tend to shy away from research with initiatives that may expose leadership and working conditions.…”

The authors describe the methodological strategies used to effectively recruit a diverse sample of nurses in a qualitative study. Adequate representation of diverse populations is necessary to advance science and health equity. A multimodal research approach (research team composition, flyers, social media, and purposive sampling) was used. When undertaking research with underrepresented groups, recruitment efforts should begin in the early phases of study planning with research team development that can assist in employing multiple recruitment strategies accordingly.

“…This is due to a number of challenges such as finding time in busy clinical settings to engage in research, their perceived lack of skills with the research process and lack of support. [24,25] In our study the RN's readily completed the research component of the project during the workshops, however they did not engage in the ongoing data collection phases.…”

Objective: The aim of the paper is to describe the implementation of a peer buddy mentoring model to support the career development of Registered Nurses (RNs) seeking Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) positions. Methods: A qualitative survey design was used to collect data during the workshops, with follow-up semi-structured telephone or face-to-face interviews. Data were also collected via the researchers' notes. Results: A total of 32 participants attended the program and 31 completed the surveys. The participants' reported needing more support when applying for a CNS position. Despite these issues, the participants recommend the use of peer buddy mentoring as a motivational, supportive and instructive model. Conclusions: Peer buddy mentoring, and facilitated workshops, is a relatively low cost and effective strategy to support nurses aspiring to advance their careers. Participants valued the development of the peer buddy relationship and the mutual support and motivation it engendered.

“…Essentially what it would involve is meeting up with you on two different occasions to talk about your experience (9). Of course, I've got ethics approval from my university to conduct this study and I can guarantee that your data would be kept confidentially and your identity will be anonymised throughout (10). And, of course, what is important to state is that even if you say you want to get involved and then change your mind then you're free to withdraw at any stage, no reason needed (11).…”

This article presents an innovative, video-based approach to the recruitment of research participants. A YouTube video was created and uploaded as part of a doctoral study exploring what it means to be struggling as a teacher. Following a review of the recruitment literature, which highlights a general lack of attention paid to the challenges of recruitment, the author explores the approach she took in planning the video. The video was the main promotional tool for the study and was communicated via Twitter and email. She also presents online survey findings on the perceived impact and influence of the video; the visual format, informal tone and the ability to see the researcher in person were rated very positively. A reflective analysis of the video transcript follows drawing on the literature as well as the survey findings. She concludes that video-based recruitment can be an inexpensive but powerful tool which allows a human connection with the researcher early on in the research process.

Nurses as participants in research: an evaluation of recruitment techniques

Abstract: Recruiting nurses for research can be challenging. We suggest that researchers consider using more than one recruitment strategy when recruiting nurse participants. Recruitment is more successful if researchers align the aim(s) of the research with nurse's concerns and contexts.
