Rationale:
In order to substantiate their position, some of the opponents of fair distribution of Break Relief and Action Team assignments have stated that Break Relief and Action Team assignments are very difficult assignments. The Union believes that to ensure Fairness, a workload for every shift (difficult assignments as well as easy assignments) must be fairly and equally distributed among all ICU nurses. To test if our ICU nurses agree with the Union’s position, the Union has included the following question in the survey:
Do you agree that a workload for every shift should be equally and fairly distributed among all ICU Nurses ?
| Choices | Response % | Response Count |
| Yes, I agree that a workload for every should be equally and fairly distributed among all ICU Nurses. | 98.2 | 109 |
| No, I disagree. A workload for every shift should be distributed unequally and unfairly. | 1.8 | 2 |
| If you disagree, please provide a rationale below (if any) | N/A | 9 |

Statistical Analysis: The survey results clearly and unambiguously demonstrate that between 96.62% and 99.78% of ICU nurses support fair and equal distribution of shift’s workload among all nurses. These findings were calculated by using a scientific formula at highest possible 99% confidence level, with a MOE of 1.58% and a p-score of 0.982. The high confidence level and narrow margin of error reinforce the reliability of these results, indicating strong evidence that the vast majority of ICU nurses support fair and equal distribution of shift’s workload among all nurses.
Conclusion: The high confidence level and narrow margin of error reinforce the reliability of these results, providing strong evidence that the overwhelming majority of ICU nurses support fair and equal distribution of workload among all nurses. You can use the included Margin of Error Calculator to confirm this result.
