Setting, sample and recruitment
The audit study was conducted in public health services in
Queensland, Australia. The following groups were recruited
to the study.
Nurse practitioners
Maximum variation sampling gained a sample of nurse
practitioners that was geographically and clinically representative
of services across the state. The sampling frame
included the following:• Diversity of nurse practitioner specialty fields.
• Services from all health service jurisdictions that have
nurse practitioners.
• Nurse practitioners who have been working in the role
for a minimum of six months.
All nurse practitioners working in the Queensland public
health system were invited to respond by email if they
were interested in participating in the audit. From the
list of respondents, a sample of 11 nurse practitioners
was selected using the sampling frame. Sample size was
determined by the funding capacity and reporting timeframe.
Service stakeholders
The stakeholders in this audit were medical, nursing and
allied health clinicians working in or with the health services
associated with the sample of nurse practitioners. All
clinician stakeholders were recruited directly via internal
mail with a package containing a letter of invitation,
information and consent documents, a questionnaire and
reply-paid envelope.
Patients
For each nurse practitioner participant, a convenience sample
of two patients was selected and invited to participate
in the study.
