Participants and Setting
This study was conducted in a 200-bed community
hospital in the southern United States. Recruitment of
potential participants was conducted by contacting all
nurses who participated on hospital committees and
nurse leaders (n = 115) through e-mail after institu-
tional review board approval was obtained. Potential
participants were invited to contact the researcher if
they were interested in participating in the study. Per
diem nurses, traveling nurses, and nurses not partic-
ipating on a committee were excluded. Purposive sam-
pling resulted in a final sample consisting of 12 nurses.
Six nurses were in the role of staff nurse and 6 were in
the role of nurse leader in the organization. This sam-
ple size is consistent with other studies using semi-
structured interviews, which typically consist of 6 to
12 participants.17 The range of employment for par-
ticipants in the study was from 1 year to 25 years.
Roles of participants included clinical nurse leader,
assistant director, director, and administrative direc-
tor as well as bedside clinical nurses. When nurses
arrived at the study site (conference room), they were
informed of the study purpose and were invited to
participate in the study. Information regarding the
study was provided, and they were asked to sign an
informed consent before the interview began.
