Hello,
I wonder if anyone can advise me on something that has come
up from a UK NHS Research Ethics review.
I am a PhD researcher and a midwife, not clinically practicing.
As researcher, I cannot advise women on their pregnancy. I have documented that
I will advise them to seek advice from their midwife on care and pregnancy
related issues.
As a result of the interviewing process, they could feel
distressed by thoughts/feelings they disclose, other than advising them to speak
to their midwife/health professional if this occurs, how can I identify a
robust system to deal with distress caused by taking part in the study?
I feel sure someone else must have come across this and I would
be interested to hear how this could be or has been addressed.
Thank you in advance
Carol
