Parental Decision Making with an Ill Child

My name is Karen Dennehy and I am a final year medical student at University College Cork. As part of our degree we are encouraged to complete some research. I have decided to look at Parental Decision Making when Caring for an Ill Child.

My aim is improve healthcare provided for children as well as add to the research available with regards parental concerns.

I would be delighted if parents could take the time to complete an online questionnaire which should take no longer than 5 minutes.

The questionnaire is completely anonymous and your participation is greatly appreciated.

Thanking you! Karen
