TLDR
Views of women who participated in and declined to participate in a study that was part of a program of maternity care research are investigated, suggesting that although health care researchers adopt an individualistic approach to care, they may fail to adopt a similar approach within research. Expand

TLDR
Women who received the intervention were less likely to have high anxiety and depression scores after delivery when compared with the control group and the support, counseling, understanding, and explanation given to women by midwives in the postnatal period provides benefits to psychological well-being.
