Exploring Health Educational Interventions for Children With Congenital Heart Disease: Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect, affecting 40,000 births annually in the United States. Despite advances in medical care, CHD is often a chronic condition requiring continuous management and education. Effective care management depends on children's understanding of their condition. This highlights the need for targeted health educational interventions to enhance health literacy among children with CHD.

Objective

This scoping review aims to map and explore existing health educational interventions for children with CHD. The review identifies the types of interventions, target populations, delivery methods, and assessed outcomes. The goal is to consolidate fragmented research, identify gaps, and establish future research agendas.
