1 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This study will look at a cohort of parents whose children are confronting life-threatening illnesses in intensive care, palliative care, and complex care settings, to test whether parents with higher levels of hopeful patterns of thinking are subsequently more likely a) to change the "level of care" order status of their child (as an important and demonstrable example of adapting goals); b) to reprioritize goals for the child when they are reassessed regarding goals ; and c) to report a higher degree of achieving self-defined 'good parent' attributes.
