Beyond the Label: How Naming and Framing Impact Pediatric Palliative Care Acceptance
Parental perceptions of PPC are predicated on underlying factors that may constitute referral barriers. In this study, neither renaming the team nor excluding the mention of end-of-life impacted participants' enthusiasm. Future interventions should look beyond name changes to characterize and directly address the latent factors of parental distress and the perceived best interests of the child.
