Aim: The importance of parents' involvement in their child's medical care has been extensively discussed in the literature, and studies have indicated the need to expand the active role of parents in decision-making processes regarding such care. However, parents' actual wish to be active and informed in this context remains underexplored. The aim of the current study was to explore this gap by investigating the association between parents' shared decision-making (SDM) experience and their well-being during the course of their child's medical care, with a focus on parents' clinical decision-making style as a possible moderator.

- Parenting a child with a chronic illness involves various challenges but can also lead to personal growth, known as post-traumatic growth (PTG).
- A systematic review of 34 studies with over 5,000 parents found that PTG was common among these parents, but it was not linked to psychological distress.
- The analysis showed that PTG was positively associated with social support and resilience, especially in parents of children with psychiatric illnesses, highlighting the need for awareness of these factors in clinical settings.
