Parental Experience in the Single Ventricle Interstage Utilizing a mHealth Innovation: A Comparative Case Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Interview for mHealth and Adherence, Patient. Completed, enrolled 11 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to provide a rich description of the parental perspectives of utilizing a mHealth application for data transfer during the single ventricle interstage monitoring period. A gap in the body of knowledge of single ventricle cardiac disease interstage will be explored with these research questions: 1) How do parents of children (\< 5 years of age) with single ventricle disease describe their experiences using a mHealth application during the interstage period (first 6-12 months of child's life)? And 2) How do these experiences influence their decision making for use of the mHealth application?

Timeline
Interventions
The proposed research study uses a comparative case study methodology, utilizing multiple sources of data to deeply examine 8-10 "cases," each of which is defined as parent(s) of a child (\< 5 years of age) with single ventricle disease who used the mHealth application. One group of cases (4-5) will have used the mHealth application less than recommended (non-adherent to the home monitoring recommendations) or declined to use the application and returned it before the end of the interstage period. The other group of comparison cases (4-5 cases) will have used the application as recommended by the clinical team (adherent) and continued doing so through the interstage period.
