Chapter Four: Findings

Introduction

In this chapter, the findings from the national environment scan survey, semi-structured

telephone interviews, along with summary of Phase IV confirmation of findings are presented.

The sample is described using descriptive statistics. Polit and Beck (2012) posit, “A major

advantage of web-based surveys is that the data are directly amenable to analysis” (p. 312).

Additionally, in order to contextualize the findings, direct quotes from the open text responses

and telephone interviews are presented. Overall, this chapter presents an integrated analysis of

the different phases of the study.

Description of Survey Sample

Response rates are summarized in the below table 4.1 by reporting details and frequency

statistic. As explained earlier and noted in Table 4.1 below, of the 34 e-mail invites, 18

FluidSurveys™ responses (n=18) were received, of which 16 were complete and two were

incomplete. The two incomplete responses had the demographic section completed and one of

the respondents had part of section two ‘current practice’ filled out. All available data from the

responses were included in the analysis. The response rate calculated based on the complete

responses is 47%.
