There were 71 respondents; response rate 68%. The trait response propensity item predicted completion of a prior staff survey (odds ratio 8.75, 95% confidence interval 2.32-33.08). Trait response propensity significantly correlated with two of the 40 survey items and did not significantly correlate with any of the eight 'stressor' sub-scales. Non-respondents to the prior staff survey had a significantly lower risk of stress on two of the eight stressor scales.
