What This Trial Is About
This research aims to co-develop and test an online educational resource called CHOICE-ICD for patients living with or awaiting an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). The study focuses on providing easy-to-understand information through games, quizzes, animations, virtual reality, and patient videos to reduce anxiety and improve quality of life. The study involves collaboration with patients, family members, and healthcare professionals to design a patient-centered resource. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one group will receive access to the CHOICE-ICD app alongside an information booklet, and the other group will receive only the information booklet as part of usual care. The intervention lasts for 3 months, during which patients and family members will engage with the app's interactive features, including videos, animations, a discussion forum, and a diary function for appointments. The study includes an ongoing phase to optimize and test the feasibility and acceptability of the CHOICE-ICD resource. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires and participate in interviews at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months to evaluate their perceptions, concerns, knowledge, attitudes, anxiety, acceptance of the ICD, quality of life, and caregiver burden. Researchers will assess recruitment, consent, randomization rates, and intervention usability. The total participation spans at least 6 months, including follow-up assessments to measure the intervention's impact and trial feasibility.
