- The study aimed to understand important decisions made by parents in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and the factors leading to parental decision regret, a feeling linked to psychological distress.
- A survey conducted among 233 parents revealed that over half experienced some level of decision regret, with nearly 19% categorized as having moderate to severe regret, particularly among Hispanic parents and those with longer hospital stays or specific medical conditions.
- Findings highlight the need for better communication and support for parents during critical decisions in the PICU to help reduce feelings of regret.
