简要总结
The specific aims of the patient intervention are to:
- increase patient knowledge about pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs)
- help patients to identify if their PM or ICD has been interrogated
- improve patient's physician-patient communication skills
- teach patients how to identify if their device has been recalled
- train patients what to do in case of a device recall
The educational interventions proposed, if proven to be effective by this pilot, will provide a low-cost, reproducible intervention to improve the clinical care and safe management of pacemakers (PM) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) in patients. The goal of the intervention will be to promote the safe use of implantable pulse generators.
详细描述
If you agree to take part in this study, you will complete 3 sets of questionnaires (at the beginning of the study, at 2-months and at 4-months) which will be sent to you and returned by you through the mail. This will not require you to travel to M.D. Anderson. In addition to the questionnaires, you will also complete 2 follow-up phone interviews.
Questionnaires:
The first set of questionnaires will be mailed to your home. The questionnaires will ask questions about your anxiety level and how much you know about pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. There will also be questions about your gender, age, ethnicity, and race. The questionnaires will take about 25 minutes to complete. When you are finished, you will mail the questionnaires to the study staff. An envelope with pre-paid postage will be provided.
Educational Packet:
After you have completed the questionnaires, you will receive an educational packet in the mail. The packet will have a DVD or a video (depending on whether you tell us you have a DVD player or a VHS player) with information on medical devices, device recall information (when and why certain devices have been recalled in the past), a list of on-line resources and benefits of routine follow-up.
