Invitation To Participate In Research: Information For You
Exploring your experience of anxiety during pregnancy and after birth.
Thank you for taking the time to read this information. My name is Hollie Byrne. I am a student at University College Dublin (UCD). I am completing a PhD in Clinical Psychology at the UCD School of Psychology. Associate Professor Barbara Dooley supervises this research study. This research has been reviewed and approved by the UCD HREC Ethics Committee.
What is this research about?
We aim to gather information about how and why anxiety is experienced by pregnant women and mothers in Ireland.
Why I am doing this research?
A lot of the research in this area has focused on low mood and depression during pregnancy and after the birth of a baby. However, we now know that pregnant women in Ireland can experience anxiety during pregnancy and after the birth of their baby. We do not know very much about what may contribute towards women in Ireland experiencing anxiety and worry while pregnant and shortly after birth, or what may be helpful to reduce this anxiety.
Why have you been invited to take part?
You have been invited to take part, as we are interested in learning about your experience of anxiety as a pregnant woman. We are inviting pregnant women, who are between 36 and 40 weeks pregnant (or overdue) and aged over 18 to take part. You should not take part in this study if you do not meet these criteria. To take part, you must be living in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland.
How will your data be used?
The information that you share with us will be used to investigate how we can identify pregnant women who may be struggling with anxious feelings. We will analyse the data carefully and publish our findings so that they can be shared with other researchers and health professionals. When we are finished the study, the data will be securely stored so that it may be used in future research.
