“…The sample size was relatively small, and response rates for American and Canadian nephrologists were only 12 and 19%, respectively. However, response rates from online surveys are known to be lower than those for postal surveys and are considered a cost-effective administration method that provides equivalent results to mailed surveys with samples from professional organizations (17,18). Also the number of respondents in this study was comparable to that in other studies of nephrologists' attitudes and practices that have yielded useful results (7,15).…”

Nephrologists commonly engage in end-of-life decision-making with patients with ESRD and their families. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceived preparedness of nephrologists to make end-of-life decisions and to determine factors that are associated with the highest level of perceived preparedness. The nephrologist members of the Renal Physicians Association (RPA) and the Canadian Society of Nephrology were invited to participate in an online survey of their end-of-life decision-making practices. A total of 39% of 360 respondents perceived themselves as very well prepared to make end-of-life decisions. Age >46 yr, six or more patients withdrawn from dialysis in the preceding year, and awareness of the RPA/ American Society of Nephrology (ASN) guideline on dialysis decision-making were independently associated with the highest level of self-reported preparedness. Nephrologists who reported being very well prepared were more likely to use time-limited trials of dialysis and stop dialysis of a patient with permanent and severe dementia. Compared with Americans, Canadian nephrologists reported being equally prepared to make end-of-life decisions, stopped dialysis of a higher number of patients, referred fewer to hospice, and were more likely to stop dialysis of a patient with severe dementia. Nephrologists who have been in practice longer and are knowledgeable of the RPA/ASN guideline report greater preparedness to make end-of-life decisions and report doing so more often in accordance with guideline recommendations. To improve nephrologists' comfort with end-of-life decision-making, fellowship programs should teach the recommendations in the RPA/ASN guideline and position statement.

Positive patient and nurse outcomes depend upon improved clinical nurse work environments. Improvements can be confirmed through environmental surveys that have sufficient participation to yield accurate data. Professional clinical nurses in hospitals face a unique work complexity that inhibits survey participation. What procedures/incentives are effective in increasing survey participation? Are procedures/incentives effective with non-nurses applicable to nurses? These questions were answered through a focused literature review, a case-study analysis of procedures and incentives used by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center that resulted in a 93% response rate on an environmental Web-based survey, operational data from environmental surveys administered to staff nurses in 286 hospitals nationally and internationally, and an e-mail survey of nurse leaders/managers in 7 strategically selected hospital units. Incentives effective with nurse populations differed from those of non-nurse populations in several areas. Benchmarking and gap analysis-assessment, comparison to internal or external referents, introduction of needed improvements, and reassessment-are best leadership/management practices and are essential elements of the research and quality improvement efforts characteristic of Magnet hospitals. As the use of surveys for quality improvement and workforce management increases, nurse leaders need to know what procedures and incentives encourage response rates large enough to produce valid, representative data.
