COVID-19 Support Program Evaluation Survey

At the beginning of the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic, the National Association of Nigerian Nurses in North America (NANNNA) initiated four (4) types of support programs for nurses. The goal of these programs were to provide avenues for nurses to: a) Learn about COVID-19; b) Discuss Patient-care Experiences and Challenges; c) Share Personal Experiences and Feelings related to COVID-19 care as a way of providing emotional support to each other.

The four NANNNA support programs are:

1)    Daily Support for Nurses in the frontline of COVID Care

2)    Individual Peer-Support by COVID-19 Survivors

3)    Bereaved Family Support

4)    Weekly Spiritual Support/Group Prayer

NANNNA is currently conducting an Evaluation Survey of these programs. We would like to hear from you. Your participation is voluntary and all responses will be confidential (no identifying information will be collected). Your feedback will help us improve these and future support programs.

This survey is open from August 15 - August 31, 2020 (takes about 15 minutes to complete). Thank you!
