The Canadian Association of Critical Care Nurses (CACCN) accepts surveys for distribution to our members that fit with the mandate/mission of the CACCN and that work towards the advancement of critical care nursing, the care of critically ill patients and their families, or the health/safety of critical care nurses. The majority of the surveys we accept are research based and we have a formal process that is followed when a party wishes to submit a survey for consideration.
If you are interested in having CACCN distribute your survey, please review the survey distribution request information. Forward requests with required information to caccn@caccn.ca.

National Survey of Humanizing Initiatives in intensive Care Units | Critical illness often limits a patient’s ability to express their individuality and autonomy, while also making it more challenging for health care professionals to understand who each patient is as a person. Humanizing initiatives—such as bedside “About Me” boards, using preferred names and pronouns, flexible visiting hours, and family participation in rounds—help to ensure that care remains patient- and family-centered. Currently, there is limited national data on which of these initiatives are routinely implemented in ICUs across Canada. By gathering input from frontline care providers, this study aims to: Identify which humanizing practices are commonly in use Highlight opportunities to expand or enhance such initiatives Discover unique, local innovations that may benefit from broader adoption | LOI Implied Informed Consent Form Survey Link | Questions?

| Acute Dialysis/CRRT: Nursing and Providers Survey World Federation of Critical Care Nurses | Focusing on the utilization and practice variations of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT). Despite the widespread utilization of CRRT techniques there is significant variation in how the technique is prescribed, delivered and monitored for quality. We believe there is a great need to assess the knowledge and practice gaps that exist in this field. The goal is to identify opportunities to improve patient care by understanding current practices and pinpointing areas for standardization and education. | Survey Link | Information or questions: World Federation of Critical Care Nurses Ltd info@wfccn.org |
