Recording by Patients and Relatives/Friends in the Maternity Unit

The participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on their knowledge of, and attitudes towards the recording of patient care by patients or relatives/friends in the maternity unit. An investigator will be immediately available to facilitate completion of the survey and assist with understanding of the questions. The data recorded will be a mixture of nominal data (selections from a number of options using a tickbox) or ordinal (as above, but graded e.g. yes / yes with qualifiers / no). Free text will be coded and presented as nominal data or presented verbatim to illustrate points that arise.
