This study will investigate the relationships among social determinants of health (SDOH), perceived stress, coping, and quality of life (QoL) in parents of children with congenital heart disease (CHD). Surveys will be administered to assess perceived stress, coping strategies, QoL, and SDOH. Semi-structured interviews with parents of children with CHD will explore parent experiences with CHD-related stressors, current use of coping strategies, SDOH barriers and facilitators to effective coping, and preferences for future interventions to reduce stress and facilitate coping.

The purpose of this study is to identify domains in which stroke suvivors may have struggled since experiencing a stroke. These include things like emotional, family and work function. This study entails an interview and questionnaires that ask about functioning in these areas.

Mindfulness is a third wave psychotherapy that has been shown to improve focus and decrease stress and burnout in healthcare professionals. Unfortunately, no study to date has assessed the efficacy of combatting burnout and stress while also improving intraoperative focus in one of the specialties with the highest rate of burnout, neurosurgery. The lengthy time requirements of previous mindfulness interventions are not amenable to the variable schedule of a neurosurgeon. Therefore, the construction of a mindfulness intervention that is short, yet effective is essential to the proper integration of mindfulness into the workflow of neurosurgeons. The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a brief mindfulness intervention on decreasing burnout and stress while improving focus in the operating room.
