Summary

In recent years, improvement of medical treatments leads to the effect, that 90% of children originally born with congenital heart disease (CHD) are reaching adulthood. Mortality rates have significantly decreased in the last decades. However several studies have shown that with multiple consequences have to face the survivors. Eg. neuronal and psychological injuries during the perioperative period. After all, the surgical interventions that save their lives might result in psychological and behavioral deviations and increased morbidity, which is strongly worsening the quality of life, learning abilities and behavioral development of these patients. Not yet available any clinical guidelines for managing or screening these patients for designing intervention, taking corrective actions.

The investigators wish to identify those perioperative factors that might affect the well-being, coping, the behavior alteration and psychosocial status of children, who underwent open chest cardiac interventions in early ages. The investigators also wish to understand the long-term changes of the illness-representation of this population and to see its effect for the wellbeing and coping.
