| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to delineate the process of pediatricians’ critical decision making for children with life-threatening conditions and the pediatricians’ psychosocial experience. Semi-structured, individual face-to-face interviews were performed for 15 pediatricians, and the interview content was subjected to the content analysis.
Pediatricians carried both unique and overlapping categories of dilemmas when making critical decisions. The dilemmas had five types of causal elements: (I) pediatricians’ convictions; (II) quest for the best interests of patients; (III) quest for medically appropriate plans; (IV) confronting parents and families; and (V) socio-environmental issues. Dilemmas occurred and developed as conflicting interactions among these five elements. Our data indicate the necessity of implementing the system that supports pediatricians to find the best management plan for severely ill children and their families.
