After participating, all participants rated how enjoyable the study was, the extent to which they benefited from participating, the acceptability of the procedures in helping them with their memories, and how confident they felt in being able to cope with other intrusive memories, on 0 (not at all/did not benefit) to 10 (very enjoyable, I benefited a lot, very acceptable, very confident) scales.
Participants rated the acceptability of the study procedures (NRS 0=totally unacceptable; 10=completely acceptable).
The acceptability of the different procedures as perceived after the examinations was investigated.
At the end of the study, GPs will also be asked to complete a one-page questionnaire, assessing the acceptability of the study procedures in the practice.
We have designed this feasibility study to assess the practicalities of recruitment prior to pregnancy, follow-up in pregnancy and the acceptability of the study procedures.
Participants in both groups will be asked to complete a single page exit questionnaire on the acceptability of the study procedures.
Within the feasibility study, a qualitative substudy will assess patient experience of having an open fracture of the lower limb, being enrolled in the study, giving or declining consent for the trial, and the acceptability of the trial procedures.
