Exploring feasibility of clinical psychology as a model of care for families affected by congenital cytomegalovirus
Clinical psychology was positively received as a protected space to explore and validate the emotional impact of cCMV, and facilitate connection with others who share personal experience of cCMV. The findings support the use of embedded clinical psychology provision for families affected by cCMV, and the importance of increasing cCMV awareness to improve pathways of care and reduce psychological distress.
