Description

The purpose of this study is to pilot two resilience interventions for cardiac arrest survivors and their informal caregivers, Recovering Together after Cardiac Arrest 1 and Recovering Together after Cardiac Arrest 2 . The data the investigators gather in this study will be used to further refine the interventions.

Interventions

  • Recovering Together after Cardiac Arrest 1 (Behavioral)
    The intervention will teach resiliency skills (mindfulness and coping) to dyads and provider anticipatory guidance and resources to manage stressors specific to cardiac arrest. These sessions will take place in person until the survivor is discharged; remaining sessions will occur over Zoom.
  • Recovering Together after Cardiac Arrest 2 (Other)
    In this minimally enhanced usual care control, dyads will participate in one 30-minute session with a clinician at beside to review a pamphlet of available psychosocial resources for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Out-of-hospital or in-hospital CA survivor (must have new diagnosis of "cardiac arrest" in electronic medical record from index hospitalization with documented loss of pulse) with an identified caregiver (identified by the survivor who is their primary source of emotional and functional support) * survivor must score \>5 on Short Form of the Mini Mental State Exam for sufficient cognitive function for meaningful participation * ability and willingness to participate in a hybrid in-person/live video intervention * English speaking adults (18 year or older) * at least one member of the dyad endorses clinically significant emotional distress during screening (\>7 on either of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale subscales).
