Women's attitude towards and use of complementary therapies during pregnancy

Research unwrapped is a popular series to help readers make sense of published research by undertaking a detailed appraisal of research articles in a careful and considered manner. In doing so we can advance our knowledge and understanding of a research topic and apply it to our practice. This process is designed to assess the usefulness of the evidence in terms of decision making and application to practice. Of the research I review here, that by Warriner et al (2014) has been appraised using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) tool for evaluating qualitative research and the CASP tool as a guide (CASP 2013). The Hall and Jolly research (2014) was reviewed with reference to standard research texts and practice.
