Abstract

Parents of children with congenital heart disease participated in an experiment to assess effects of communication methods on retention, anxiety, and satisfaction in regard to information received from physicans. Restatement of medical information by parents was found to be most effective, especially over time, for retention; results were not significant for anxiety or satisfaction.
