Episode 479 - Claire Parker, MS, PNP, AC

Jul 29, 2024

In this episode, Claire Parker, a pediatric nurse practitioner, discusses the results of a study that examined the prevalence of anxiety and depression among adolescents with pediatric pulmonary hypertension. The project aimed to incorporate mental health screening into the standard care for PH patients, similar to what is done for cystic fibrosis patients. The results showed that 52% of the patients had symptoms of anxiety and/or depression. The study also found that females were slightly more likely to have symptoms than males. The researchers hope to incorporate mental health screening into future care guidelines for pulmonary hypertension.
