Nivel Nursing Staff Panel

The Dutch Nivel Nursing Staff Panel is a nationally representative Dutch research sample of 2,500 nursing staff professionals, such as Nursing Assistants (NAs), Registered Nurses (RNs) and social workers, who are prepared to fill in an online questionnaire at least twice a year.

The Nivel Nursing Staff Panel is part of Nivel's research infrastructure, which consists of panels, national databases and monitors. With this research infrastructure, Nivel provides relevant information from different perspectives: that of patients, clients and citizens, that of healthcare providers and that of the organisation of healthcare.

Recruitment of panel members: diversity guaranteedRecruitment of panel members: diversity guaranteed

Members of the Nivel Nursing Staff Panel are primarily recruited via a random sample of the population of Dutch healthcare employees provided by the Dutch Employee Insurance Agency. This agency is responsible for social security payments and registers all employees in the Dutch healthcare sector.
Healthcare employees in this random sample are asked to participate in healthcare research for various purposes. This procedure promotes a diverse composition of the Panel in terms of age, gender, region and employer.

MethodologyMethodology

Panel members voluntarily answer questions about the content of their work several times a year. The questions are generally asked in online questionnaires, but they can also be addressed in interviews and group discussions. The questions are about subjects that are important to healthcare professionals. Panel participants can present their opinions and experiences in these questionnaires.
