Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate maternal psychological distress and to examine the potential impact of early palliative care team consultation on maternal anxiety and depression symptoms, coping, and quality of life/family functioning in the care of neonates born with single ventricle physiology. Mothers will complete four questionnaires measuring anxiety, depression, and quality of life/family functioning at a prenatal follow up visit and again prior to neonatal surgical hospital stay discharge (or at 30 days). Infants will be randomly assigned (by date of birth) to receive early palliative care team consultation or usual care (no or late palliative care intervention).
The investigators hypothesize maternal stress, anxiety, and depression will be lower in the palliative care intervention group compared with the control group, and maternal coping mechanisms and perceived quality of life and family functioning will improve at the pre-discharge assessment.

Study Groups

Early palliative care team consultation
Early pediatric palliative care team consultation for single ventricle patients will occur in this group following birth but prior to the first stage palliative surgery.
Early palliative care team consultation
The palliative care team will evaluate the patient and family with the following core palliative care goals in mind: evaluating maternal understanding of their child's diagnosis and eliciting maternal concerns regarding their child's physical symptoms, identifying maternal social support systems and additional life stressors, identifying maternal expectations and hopes for their child's medical care, and assessing maternal fears surrounding their child's diagnosis and medical treatments. Palliative care team support and resources will then be provided in areas of necessity identified for the family. Palliative care team follow up will then be determined based on the level of need identified for each individual study participant.
Usual care
Usual care for single ventricle patients will be provided with palliative care team consultation occurring at any point (if it is determined the child and family would benefit from palliative care consultation) during the child's neonatal hospital stay.
No interventions assigned to this group
