Description

BACKGROUND: Although international guidelines recommend discussions about goals of care and treatment options for children with severe and life-limiting conditions, there are still few structured models of paediatric advance care planning. AIM: The study aimed at identifying key components of paediatric advance care planning through direct discussions with all involved parties. DESIGN: The study had a qualitative design with a participatory approach. Participants constituted an advisory board and took part in two transdisciplinary workshops. Data were collected in discussion and dialogue groups and analysed using content analysis. SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: We included bereaved parents, health care providers and stakeholders of care networks.
