Brief Summary:
This study will conduct an initial clinical evaluation of this support program to examine its impact on reducing caregiver stress, increasing confidence in daily feeding, and improving weight-for-age growth percentiles in infants with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD).
Detailed Description:
Caregivers of infants with CHD are at high-risk of anxiety and distress due to the complex daily caregiving demands. Previous research has demonstrated decreased parental stress and more optimal infant developmental outcomes with a psychosocial intervention delivered to caregivers of infants with CHD prior to hospital discharge as well as reduced healthcare use in caregivers who received medical video-consultations during the interstage surgical palliation period. This study will implement a telemedicine intervention program (MyHeartBaby) to support caregivers remotely in the daily care and adjustment to having an infant with chronic medical needs. The program is delivered via video chat over the Internet and caregivers will complete questionnaires about general family information, stress, and feeding their infant.
