Women's experiences of intermittent auscultation fetal monitoring in labour: A qualitative study.

Background: Internationally, intermittent auscultation (IA) is recommended for monitoring the fetal heart rate during labour and birth for women with uncomplicated pregnancies. IA can identify changes in the fetal heart rate that may indicate the need for additional care or intervention. IA is a central facet of midwifery practice, but there is little evidence about women's experience of IA.

Using experience-based co-design (EBCD) to develop high-level design principles for a visual identification system for people with dementia in acute hospital ward settings.

Objectives: We tested a modified co-design process to develop a set of high-level design principles for visual identification systems (VIS) for hospitalised people with dementia.

Design: We designed and ran remote workshops in three phases with carers of people with dementia and healthcare staff. In phase 1 we presented participants with scenarios based on findings from prior research, prompting participants to discuss their own experiences of VIS.
