TIPS Study
Are you interested in participating in a study that examines the benefit of providing internet resources to patients with ICDs?
Purpose:
To determine whether or not internet coping and quality of life enhancement materials for ICD patients are helpful.
The study aims to provide web-based programs that are tailored to the ICD-patients experience.
Patient-Assisted Computerized Education for Recipients of ICDs (PACER) for people who are coping well, but would like to learn more about their ICD and ways to live confidently.
OR
the ICD Trauma Intervention Protocol Study (ICD-TIPS) for people who identify some distress or trauma related to the ICD experience.
What would I do if interested? Help us find out if these are helpful by taking 2 surveys and looking at a website, at your own home on your own time.
1. Take a 20 – 45 minute survey on-line.
2. Look through either the PACER or ICD-TIPS websites.
3. Take a briefer version of the initial survey two months later.
Who should I contact? E-mail Jessica Ford, a doctoral student at East Carolina University, at icdtips@ecu.edu with your name, phone number, and e-mail address.
Our team will return your e-mail with an invitation to take the first survey.
