Summary

This study looks at ways to improve the mental health and quality of life for people with a Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) and their family caregivers. After leaving the hospital, both patients and caregivers often struggle with stress and lower well-being. Participants will fill out two surveys and may receive handouts or a short meeting with a psychologist to learn self-compassion skills. The goal is to find simple ways to support them during the transition home.
