Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Ethics
  • Medical Decision-Making
  • Family-Centered Care

Background:

  • Incorporating parental values in complex pediatric medical decisions is challenging.
  • Children too young to express preferences require value-based decision-making.
  • Ethical complexities and uncertainty surround these decisions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the meaning and process of incorporating parental values in pediatric and perinatal decisions.
  • To provide a narrative overview of relevant literature.
  • To offer recommendations for clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Narrative review of pediatric, ethics, and medical decision-making literature.
  • Focus on value-based and ethically complex decisions for young children.
  • Explanation of key concepts, definitions, and challenges.

Main Results:

  • Parental values, informed by global and external factors, guide child and family-centered choices.
  • Decision-making contexts can lead to unstable or absent values requiring construction.
  • Collaborative value clarification between parents and healthcare professionals is essential.

Conclusions:

  • Shared decision-making and open communication are vital for value-congruent choices.
  • Training in communication and shared decision-making can improve value incorporation.
  • Personalized, value-based decisions support the well-being of children and families.
