Objectives: * Recognize how PICUs/NICUs implement GBS IPPC recommendations. * Describe how PICUs/NICUs' resource influence their GBS care provision as related to IPPC recommendations. Original Research Background: Grief and bereavement support (GBS) is important for the wellbeing and functioning of patients, families, and healthcare professionals (HCPs) and is part of the Integrated Model of Care (IMOC) in which ICU personnel address critical and palliative care (PC) needs concurrently. The Initiative for Pediatric Palliative Care (IPPC) guidelines can build PC capacity. Identifying existing PC resources/competencies amongst potential IPPC adopters maximizes implementation effectiveness. Research Objectives: We assessed if PICUs/NICUs implement GBS IPPC recommendations and if units' resources shape care provision.
