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.

| World Federation of Intensive and Critical Care | Over the last two decades compliance with evidence-based best practice guidelines has been poor. This challenge becomes even more important in ICU settings. In the ICUs, life-saving interventions require immense resources and costs. Therefore, best practice and evidence-based guidelines have focused on identifying cost-effective interventions. However, and despite a significant healthcare cost burden, there remains a paucity of studies in the literature evaluating poor adoption of proposed measures in ICU settings. This Delphi study aims to address this. Participating in this study involves your responses to two rounds of DELPHI process. | Participating in this study involves your responses to two rounds of DELPHI process. Research Protocol Survey Link Round 1 qualitative in nature with two open-ended questions. Round 2, presenting the items (barriers and facilitators) as summarized from the framework analysis of round 1. Round 3 will involve only the core steering group. | Questions?
