Summary

The purpose of this trial was to develop the initial sections of a video/DVD cassette that provided guidance about mastering stressful situations for patients who had been informed that they need an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (AICD). We adapted the existing LifeSkills video (which was already been shown effective in patients with heart diseases) to the specific needs of patients with AICD's. Before its development, we held separate focus groups with healthcare providers of AICD patients, pre-implantation patients, and post-implantation patients. After the video/accompanying workbook was produced, we held an additional focus group with patients who had received the video/workbook before receiving their AICD.

BEHAVIORAL

LiveSkills Video/Workbook for patients about to receive an AICD

This exploratory intervention first met in a focus group with healthcare professionals and another focus group with patients who already had received an automatic implantable cardiac defibrillator to learn more about what video and accompanying workbook material it would be helpful for patients to receive pre-inplantation. Another focus group was held with post-implantation patients asking them what additional knowledge would have been helpful. Three sections of the video with accompanying workbook were then produced and given to pre-inplantation patients. A focus group was then held with these patients after their procedure to ask them what had and had not proved helpful.
