It is noteworthy that a participant from each of the six Radiation Oncology Centres from British
Columbia (33%) completed the survey. Though seven responses were received from Ontario
(39%), only five were complete. Two responses from Quebec (11%) is also remarkable as six
French speaking centres from Quebec were excluded from the survey. Four participants were
selectively contacted from Québec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia for the semi-
structured telephone interview.

The other response for nursing role or position was clarified to be an oncology resource nurse. It
is noteworthy that three domains of nursing practice; clinical, education and leadership were
represented in the national environmental scan. The telephone interview participants included
two staff nurses, one nurse educator and one nurse leader. The aim of person triangulation
among the participants selected for the telephone interview was to validate data through multiple
perspectives on the topic under study (Polit & Beck, 2012).
