There is a lack of lesbian, bisexual and gay (LGB)-focused nursing research, in part, because the population is traditionally difficult to access. This article explores the effectiveness, benefits, and limitations of online recruitment of a distinct population of LGB-identified nurses in a study of substance use and minority stress.
A sample of nurses who self-identified as LGB were recruited for an online survey using organic Facebook outreach. A $5 Amazon gift card was offered as an incentive. Facebook insights data and demographic data were analyzed.
Within 96 hours, 394 participants had completed the 101-question online survey. The majority ( = 269, 68.6%) reported accessing the survey through Facebook. Email ( = 79, 20.2%) and word of mouth ( = 44, 11.2%) also contributed to recruitment.
The effectiveness of this Facebook recruitment protocol speaks to the importance of social media, survey incentives, and the "power of visibility" in recruitment of this population.
由于传统上难以接触到这一人群,因此针对女同性恋、双性恋和男同性恋(LGB)群体的护理研究相对较少。本文探讨了在一项关于物质使用和少数群体压力的研究中,针对 LGB 身份认同的护士这一特定人群,采用在线招募方式的效果、益处和局限性。
使用有机的 Facebook 外联,招募了一批自认为是 LGB 的护士参与在线调查。参与者完成调查可获得 5 美元的亚马逊礼品卡作为激励。分析了 Facebook 洞察数据和人口统计数据。
在 96 小时内,有 394 名参与者完成了 101 个问题的在线调查。大多数(269 人,68.6%)是通过 Facebook 访问调查的。电子邮件(79 人,20.2%)和口碑(44 人,11.2%)也有助于招募。
这种 Facebook 招募方案的有效性表明了社交媒体、调查激励措施以及该人群招募中的“可见性力量”的重要性。
