Removing Surrogates Uncertainty to Reduce Fear and Anxiety After Cardiac Events - Kids
Sponsored by Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
About this study
This pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) will test the feasibility and acceptability of the informational intervention program, Heartsight, to reduce caregivers' uncertainty experienced throughout their child's illness trajectory after cardiac arrest. The investigator aims to enroll up to 30 caregivers of pediatric cardiac arrest patients to (Aim 1a) pilot recruitment and randomization (2:1) procedures, and (Aim 1b) estimate retention rate at 3 months and assess engagement and utilization metrics for frequency of access and time spent on each module of the informational packages. The investigator also aims to evaluate the association of the intervention with efficacy outcomes in an exploratory manner in preparation for a larger trial, including (Aim2a) a preliminary estimate of the association of intervention with the surrogate's uncertainty levels at 3 months post-discharge, and (Aim 2b) a preliminary estimate of the association of intervention with the surrogate's anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress symptoms at 3 months post-discharge.
