Post-traumatic Distress in Adults with Congenital Heart Disease: Protective Factors and Clinical Implications
Integrating parents and relatives early on seems to be an important protective resource. Parental support in childhood affects the development of SOC which is in line with social support related to lower PTSS. With regard to resilience and SOC, a brief and manageable screening option for personal resources is available to refer potentially vulnerable patients to specialized psychosocial care. Care offers should address coping styles and life with CHD. Offering multidisciplinary care, integrating the patient's social network, and education for patients to increase resilience and SOC might provide a way to enhance psychosocial outcomes, quality of life, and adherence in ACHD.
