I am currently a student registered at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (NMMU) in Port Elizabeth in the faculty of Health Sciences for the programme Master’s Degree in Clinical Advanced Midwifery and Neonatology. I am expected to conduct a research project as a requirement for the fulfillment of this qualification. The title for my study is: The role of assessments in enhancing midwifery programme outcomes in a public nursing education institution at the Eastern Cape Province. The research project is conducted under the supervision of Professor S. James at the Department of Nursing Science.

I am requesting permission to conduct a survey using a self-developed and self- administered questionnaire to the community service practitioners and professional nurses who are in their first year of service following the four year comprehensive diploma course at the nursing education institution under study.

The research study will be conducted in the year 2015. The research will be conducted to fulfill the research objectives namely:

• To explore and describe the role of assessments in enhancing midwifery programme outcomes at a public nursing education institution in the Eastern Cape Province.

• To use the results of the study to recommend guidelines that could assist in enhancing midwifery programme outcomes at a public nursing education institution through well founded assessment strategies.

The researcher will observe ethical principles of informed consent, beneficence, justice, confidentiality, anonymity and maleficence.

I have provided you with a copy of the approval letter which I received from NMMU Research Ethics Committee (Human) and the consent form to be used in the research process.

84 Upon completion of the study, I undertake to provide your institution with a bound copy of the full research report. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me on my cell phone: 0738846447 / 073162050 or on email:
