Dear Participant,
Thank you for your interest in our survey about public-facing ethics resources developed and shared at St. Joseph’s Health System.
This survey is being conducted by a group of volunteers from the McMaster University Research Shop working with the St. Joseph’s Health System Ethics Program to evaluate and improve ethics resources for patients, residents, families, and staff across all facilities. Your feedback will help enhance the ethics resources available.
This 10–15-minute survey asks about the ethics topics you discuss with patients, residents, and families in your work, your experience with existing resources, and your suggestions for improvement.
We will not collect any identifying information from you. Your responses will remain confidential, accessible to only the McMaster Research Shop’s team lead and volunteers and the St. Joe’s Ethics Program team.
Participation in this survey is completely voluntary. You have the option to skip any question that you are not comfortable answering.
If you require assistance to complete this survey, or if you have any questions, please contact Lee de Bie, Ethics Program Lead, at LdeBie@stjoes.ca or 437-248-3684.
If you would like support with an ethical uncertainty or dilemma, or moral distress related to your work, please consider requesting consultation from the Ethics Program. Further information and contact details are available on our webpage. For urgent or afterhours support, you can phone 416-864-5070, enter pager ID: 4211, and leave your full 10-digit telephone number and extension. The ethicist on-call will return your message in 15-30 minutes.
Thank you for your participation.
