Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of implementing the Calgary Family Intervention Model on caregivers of infants and toddlers undergoing open-heart surgery in terms of reducing their uncertainty, improving family functioning, and enhancing resilience.
Methods: This study adopts a quasi-experimental research design and will be conducted at a medical center in northern Taiwan. A total of 96 caregivers of infants and toddlers undergoing open-heart surgery will be recruited, and a pre- and post-test design will be employed with two groups. The control group will receive routine nursing care, while the experimental group will receive routine nursing care supplemented with the Calgary Family Intervention Model, which encompasses cognitive, emotional, and behavioral domains. The experimental group will participate in two therapeutic sessions: 1. The day after surgery and before visiting the child, and 2. Prior to transferring out of the intensive care unit. Both groups will be assessed using the parental uncertainty perception scale, APGAR family function assessment scale, and the family resilience scale as outcome measures. Data will be collected before surgery, prior to transferring out of the intensive care unit, and before discharge. Interviews will be conducted with the experimental group, and data analysis will involve Generalized Estimating Equations (GEE) for quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data.
Expected contributions: In future clinical practice, this study aims to provide valuable insights into the use of family nursing intervention for caregivers of infants and toddlers undergoing open-heart surgery, specifically in managing the uncertainties associated with the illness context. Through therapeutic conversations, this intervention can help identify family strengths and resources, thereby serving as an important reference strategy for enhancing family resilience.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
control group
The control group receives care according to the standard intensive care unit nursing guidelines.
No interventions assigned to this group
experimental group
The experimental group, in addition to following the standard guidelines, undergoes two brief therapeutic sessions using the Calgary Family Intervention Model. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes. Both groups complete three questionnaires during the study period. Furthermore, after the study concludes, the experimental group participates in an interview lasting approximately 15 minutes before returning home.
Calgary Family Intervention Model
under two brief therapeutic sessions using the Calgary Family Intervention Model. Each session lasted about 20 minutes and was conducted by a single researcher to maintain consistency. The scheduling of these sessions took into consideration the physiological and emotional stability of the participants. If any issues or difficulties arose during the course of the sessions, they could be paused. The confidentiality and privacy of the discussion content were ensured. The intervention took place in a dedicated room within the intensive care unit, providing sufficient space and privacy.
