Convenience sampling is a form of non-probability sampling where researchers draw a sample group from a readily available population. This sampling technique is relatively common in various evidence-based research sources. It is simple to implement, requires minimal effort, and allows researchers to select samples relevant to their studies (Jager et al., 2017). Analyzing the implications of using a convenient sample on the interpretations of the findings related to the “Nursing Home Surveys on Patient Safety Culture” will offer useful insights into the appropriateness of the sampling method.
