[Msw] SWK 595- Survey

[Pamela Hammond]

You are being asked to participate in a social work study that evaluates
self-efficacy and anxiety in regards to research. 

Description of the Study:

Misty Rogers is a student at Texas A&M University-Commerce in the
Department of Social Work and would like to study your self-efficacy and
anxiety level regarding research. It is hypothesized many people feel
anxious and a low self-efficacy with regards to exploring and conducting
research. Current students enrolled in research courses, current MSW
intern students at the Dallas and Bonham Veterans Affairs hospitals, and
current employed social workers are all being invited to participate in
the study. 

The survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

Risks:

There will be minimal risks, no more than that expected in daily life.

Possible Benefits:

The benefit specific to this particular group of participants is they
will gain a better understanding of research processes in the classroom
settings and that of the VA. Participants will also be better equipped
to provide the step process of how to conduct research to current and
future employees and internship students while understanding the
importance of protecting the VA, its veterans and employees. The benefit
to the students is to gain academic knowledge and experience to become
knowledgeable social workers, and the benefit of the VA, as an agency,
is to be able to explain to employees their way of conducting research
and how to go about conducting research while maintain confidentiality
and anonymity for their veterans and their staff. 

 

Incentives:

There are no incentives. 

Protection of Privacy and Confidentiality:

Privacy and confidentiality will be anonymous and protected as the
software being used ensures you, the participant, cannot be connected to
the information you provide in the survey. No one outside of the survey
study, besides Ms. Rogers, will have access to your survey answers. Data
will be stored in Survey Monkey, which is password protected and only
Ms. Rogers will have access to the password. 

 

Choosing to Be in the Study:

Survey participation is completely voluntary. You can agree or deny
participating in the survey. If you chose to participate and decide to
end your survey prematurely, you will not be faulted or punished in any
way. Your grade will not be affected whether you take part in the survey
or not.
