I would like to let you know that a research study is commencing<br />

on this unit. It is hoped that the outcome <strong>of</strong> this study will<br />

contribute to understanding resident care needs.<br />

This study will involve several methods <strong>of</strong> data collection. These<br />

include interviews with staff, residents and residents’ families,<br />

observations <strong>of</strong> the working day, staff surveys, and looking at<br />

nursing documentation. Within this study all participants’<br />

anonymity and confidentiality will be guaranteed. The unit will<br />

remain anonymous and people’s names will be replaced with<br />

numbers.<br />

I am happy to answer any <strong>of</strong> your questions, both now and as the<br />

study progresses. Your participation is wholly voluntary; if you do<br />

decide to participate you will be free to withdraw at any time.<br />

Your decision to participate or not in this study will be fully<br />

accepted and will not affect your employment or care.<br />

Yours Sincerely,<br />

Claire Welford Tel: 087 - 9034110<br />
