Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I am now going to read you stories about people's experiences with health care services. I wanted you to think about these people's experiences as if they were your own. Once I have finished reading each story, I will ask you to rate what happened in th estory as very good, good, moderate, bad or very bad.

Use in vignettes country specific female/male first names to match sex of the respondent (with exceptions specified in the "Guide to Administration and Question by Question Specifications").

[Sally]’s husband could only visit her in hospital in the evenings because of the visiting hours and because he had to look after their children. Once he brought
the children with him and the nurse, who was reading a newspaper, said she could not watch them for him. This meant [Sally] had fewer visits from her
husband.

Literal question

For [Sally’s] last hospital stay, how would you rate her experience of
staying in contact with the outside world when she was in hospital?
