“…We found one study analysing patients’ experiences with standard on-clinic monitored pacemakers [22]. A previous literature review [23] found three studies comparing the experiences of people with pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICD) [24–26]. In the field of telemonitoring cardiac devices, one study analysed diverse aspects of remote monitored ICDs, such as ease of use of the system, acceptance, and satisfaction of patients and clinicians [21].…”

Background The concept of ‘patient experience’ has become central to how to improve healthcare. Remote communication with patients is today a frequent practice in healthcare services, showing similar outcomes to standard outpatient care while enabling cost reduction in both formal and informal care. The purpose of this study was to analyse the experiences of people with telemonitoring pacemakers. Methods Patients were randomly allocated to either the telemonitoring or hospital monitoring follow-ups. Using the ‘Generic Short Patient Experiences Questionnaire’ (GS-PEQ), as well as an ad-hoc survey from the ‘telehealth patient satisfaction survey’ and ‘costs survey’, patients’ experiences were measured six months after the pacemaker implant in a cohort of 50 consecutive patients. The mean age was 74.8 (± 11.75) years and 26 (52%) patients were male of which 1 was lost in follow-up. Finally, 24 patients were followed up with standard hospital monitoring, while 25 used the telemonitoring system. Differences in baseline characteristics between groups were not found. Results Findings showed overall positive and similar experiences in patients living with telemonitoring and hospital monitoring pacemakers. Significant differences were found in GS-PEQ concerning how telemonitoring patients received less information about their diagnosis/afflictions (p = 0.046). We did not find significant differences in other items such as ‘confidence in the clinicians’ professional skills’, ‘treatment perception adapted to their situation’, ‘involvement in decisions regarding the treatment’, ‘perception of hospital organisation’, ‘waiting before admission’, ‘satisfaction of help and treatment received’, ‘benefit received’, and ‘incorrect treatment’. Conclusions The remote communication of pacemakers was met with positive levels of patients’ experiences similarly to patients in the hospital monitoring follow-up. However, telemonitoring patients received less information. Thus, improving the quality and timing of information is required in telemonitoring patients in the planning and organisation of future remote communication healthcare services for people living with a pacemaker implant.

“…In the process of peer support, patients can build friendships, exchange information, learn to accept their own disease status, learn self‐care, and understand their situation better through comparisons with others. Patients undergoing pacemaker implantation experience changes in physical, psychological, social and other aspects of their lives (Barros & Silva, ; Ghojazadeh et al, ; Lopez‐Villegas, Catalan‐Matamoros, Robles‐Musso, & Peiro, ; Tagney, ). For pacemaker patients, peer support might help them get through this difficult process.…”

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of a nurse‐led telephone‐based peer support program on health outcomes in patients after cardiac pacemaker implantation. Seventy six patients who received cardiac pacemaker implantation were recruited as participants and randomly assigned to either the peer support group or the usual care group. The usual care group received routine care and health education measures provided by nurses; the peer support group received telephone‐based peer support. Health‐related quality of life, self‐care knowledge–attitudes–practice, postoperative anxiety and depression, compliance with attending scheduled follow‐up visits, and the incidence of postoperative complications were evaluated at baseline and 6 months’ postintervention for the two groups. The result showed that the interventions had a better effect on self‐care knowledge–attitudes–practice, postoperative anxiety and depression, and compliance with attending scheduled follow‐up visits in the peer support group than in the usual care group. This study confirms that telephone‐based peer support improves self‐care ability, compliance with attending scheduled follow‐up visits, and reduces postoperative anxiety and depression more effectively than conventional nurse care among patients with cardiac pacemaker implantation.

“…11 Psychological distress, anxiety, depression, mood disturbance, sexual dysfunction, fears of ICD therapies or SCD episodes, and a sense of uncertainty or loss of control have been described by previous studies. [12][13][14][15][16] In contrast, the ICD provides a sense of reassurance to some patients, as if the device could provide a life extension by protecting them against SCD episodes. 17,18 Despite the effects of ICD on QoL, outcomes have often been evaluated in randomized controlled trials, the conclusions derived from these studies have not shown any consistent evidence of worse QoL with ICD therapy.…”
