| Semi-structured Interview | up to 180 months after surgery | A semi-structured interview of patients and one of their family members will be conducted. Patients and family members will be interviewed separately. The interview will consist of several open ended questions around several themes. The interviews for patients and family members will have their own focus. Patient interviews will focus on living with OCD, living with PNS and the decision making process leading to the PNS procedure. Family member interviews will focus on their own experience in their interaction with OCD patients both before and after PNS |
