Are you a nurse in an Australian health service?

Deakin University are again running a survey exploring stress and alcohol consumption among Australian nurses to compare results from our 2021 edition. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and is open to nurses only.

Your privacy is important to us, and all results will be deidentified prior to being included in any publications arising from the project.

This study has received ethical approval from Deakin University (HEAG-H 99_2023)

We have attached the Participant Information Sheet for your perusal. You may also contact the chief investigator, Dr Adam Searby, at a.searby@deakin.edu.au if you have further questions.

Thank you for considering participating in this project. The survey can be accessed via this anonymous link https://researchsurveys.deakin.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_6CZnauzAxFZ8nu6
