Abstract
This article discusses the theoretical development of a nursing interventio n program to enhance recovery over the first year following sudden cardiac arrest. Concepts from social cognitive theory and domains of concern follow ing sudden cardiac arrest underpin a tailored and standardized nursing inte rvention. The nursing intervention program is designed for delivery by mean s of telephone and through the mail. Testing of the nursing intervention pr ogram is underway using a clinical trial design.
