The PaTHS Descriptive Correlational Longitudinal Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to measure parent's post-traumatic stress before and after their infant's second palliative heart surgery for single ventricle congenital heart disease. The investigators will use the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist for the DSM-V (PCL-5) to measure levels 2-4 weeks before and after the infant's second heart surgery. The investigators aim to describe the levels at the two-time points, compare the scores, and identify demographic information that correlates with the scores.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Measure the level of parental post-traumatic stress two to four weeks before their infant's second palliative heart surgery [on average at 4-6 months of age]
Measure level using the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition. The scores range 0-80 with scores greater than or equal to 31 suggest provisional Posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Measure the level of parental post-traumatic stress two to four weeks after discharge following their infant's second palliative heart surgery. [On average 5-6 months of age]
Measure level using the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition. The scores range 0-80 with scores greater than or equal to 31 suggest provisional Posttraumatic stress disorder diagnosis.
Other Outcome Measures
- Examine the relationship of parental post-traumatic stress level before and after their infant's second palliative heart surgery. [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Compare the two PCL-5 scores.
- Examine what demographic variables are the mediators and moderators of the correlations. [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Examine any correlation between selected demographics and PCL-5 scores.
