PNA Membership Survey

The research committee is also running a survey on our members. You are invited to take part in this research project, which is called Pain Nurses Australia Pain Care Provision: A national consensus study. You have been invited because you are either a Registered Nurse (RN), or an enrolled nurse (EN) or a health care provider who provides pain care provision for people. The aim of this project is to explore pain care provision research directions and its national significance. There is a gap of knowledge in relation to what nurses and health care professionals would like to explore in relation to research into pain care provision. Pain Nurses Australia (PNA) sponsored this research.

• It is anticipated it will take up to 15–20 minutes to complete the survey.
