Few studies have examined whether modifiable factors that influence parents’ mental health after discharge are present during postoperative care in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit (PCICU). This study describes the mental health symptoms of parents of infants with CHD 3 months after PCICU discharge and determines factors during the PCICU stay that are predictors of such symptoms.Learners must complete the entire activity and the associated evaluation AND read Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes.
