This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
There are a variety of educational documents available to help in a participant's decision for VAD implant, however there is little information available to potential participants to help understand areas of satisfaction and concern following a VAD implant as various time points. The investigators want to provide better patient care through increased education and awareness beyond surgical outcomes and contribute to patient understanding of "what to expect" following a VAD implant. The investigators have created an anticipatory guidance (AG) tool based upon previous responses recorded in a local program's database, from the Quality of Life with a Left Ventricular Assist Device (QoLVAD) questionnaire. This questionnaire has five different domains (physical, social, emotional, cognitive thinking and spiritual/well-being). Investigators have previously analyzed responses to determine common areas of satisfaction and concern at 3-, 6-, 12- and 24-months post-VAD implant to better understand quality of life when living with a VAD. Investigators have had both VAD clinicians and VAD patients initially evaluate the tool to determine accuracy and effectiveness of the anticipatory guidance (AG) tool.
Multi-Site Feasibility Testing of the Ventricular Assist Device Anticipatory Guidance Tool
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
