Experiences of Young Adults With Pacemakers and/or Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators.
CONCLUSIONS: The lived experiences of young recipients often mirror that of older adults; however, it is clear that there are challenges and coping behaviors unique to young adults living with a PM and/or ICD. It is important to educate healthcare providers about the unique challenges that young adults may face so they can provide the appropriate support to this population.
