Research Study: Nurse-Autistic Patient Interactions

Researchers from Rowan Universty are conducting a study that includes completion of an online survey about registered nurses’ experiences, training, needs, and thoughts related to caring for autistic patients. This survey is estimated to take about 20-30 minutes to complete. Potential benefits of this important research study include helping researchers learn more about interactions between nurses and autistic patients to identify ways in which healthcare experiences may be optimized for autistic patients and those that care for them.

Participation Requirements

• Registered nurses actively working in the U.S.
• All departments & specialties eligible, except school nurses, nurse practitioners, certified nursing assistants, licensed practical nurses, licensed vocational nurses & physician assistants
