Popis: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a devastating complication of genetic heart diseases. The psychological impact on surviving family members is significant and lifelong. Previous needs analyses found medical and psychological needs are of high importance but remain unmet in some cases. We used co-design focus groups with stakeholders (healthcare professionals and family members) to develop a support intervention: COPESCD - an online community supporting families after SCD in the young. The intervention contains two parts: (1) a website and (2) a series of four, online support sessions (covering: general information, uncertainty, grief and loss, and family coping).
