Cardiac Arrest Survivors’ Perspectives to Inform the Co-Design of a Web-Based Support and Learning Platform: Qualitative Content Analysis
To explore cardiac arrest survivors' perspectives on digital support and identify relevant content and delivery formats for a web-based support and learning platform, emphasizing the importance of their input.
Key Findings:
Survivors experience cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential challenges post-cardiac arrest.
There is a lack of structured follow-up and adequate support for survivors transitioning from hospital to home.
Digital support interventions have shown potential in other patient groups but need to be tailored for cardiac arrest survivors, including specific examples of effective interventions.
Interpretation:
Understanding survivors' preferences is crucial for cocreating effective digital support interventions tailored to their unique needs, which will influence platform design.
Limitations:
The study is limited to a specific geographic region (Sweden) and may not reflect the experiences of survivors in other contexts, potentially impacting the generalizability of the findings.
The findings are based on qualitative data, which may not be generalizable to all cardiac arrest survivors.
Conclusion:
The study aims to inform the development of a digital support program that complements existing health care services for cardiac arrest survivors, highlighting the need for their involvement in the development process.
