112. Methodology2.1. Research DesignA sequential mixed methodology design was used for this research. The methodology ofthe qualitative part of this study is discussed in our previous report (Baumann et al.,forthcoming). This section gives the research methodology of the quantitative section. Datawere selected using systematic sampling (Polit and Hungler 1997).2.2. Data and Collection ProcessData were collected from three large teaching hospitals in Southern Ontario (HamiltonHealth Sciences, Kingston General Hospital, and St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto). Pilottesting of the questionnaire was conducted in April 2002. A modified Dillman approach wasused to maximize the response rate to the questionnaire (Dillman 1978). A mail outquestionnaire was sent to all 2,684 nurses in participating hospitals. The questionnaires weresent in May-June 2002. After sending a reminder card, in June-July 2002 a second mail out wasconducted. A total of 1,396 nurses responded, representing a response rate of 52%. Responserates for each hospital were: Hamilton Health Sciences 56%, Kingston General Hospital 59%,and St. Michael’s Hospital 40%.2.3. InstrumentsA New Health Care Worker Questionnaire was developed for the study. Mostquestions were either developed by the research team for this survey (Zeytinoglu et al. 2002a) oradapted from their previous Health and Work Life Questionnaire (Denton et al. 2002a). Somequestions were adapted from other researchers’ studies (as referenced below). The New Health
