Background: Pediatric end-of-life care involves multiple decision-makers including the patient, the family, and the health care provider. Although some information exists on the role of patient and family values on decision making, little is known about what influences the health care provider's decisions and performance.
Objective: A survey was conducted to collect data on health care providers who provide pediatric end-of-life care to determine what factors influence provider confidence in managing eleven different end-of-life care issues.
