Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of this study is to measure parent's post-traumatic stress before and after their infant's second palliative heart surgery for single ventricle congenital heart disease. The investigators will use the posttraumatic stress disorder checklist for the DSM-V (PCL-5) to measure levels 2-4 weeks before and after the infant's second heart surgery. The investigators aim to describe the levels at the two-time points, compare the scores, and identify demographic information that correlates with the scores.
