Abstract
Decisional conflict may predispose surrogate decision makers (SDMs) of the chronically critically ill (CCI) to making health care decisions that are not aligned with the patient's health care preferences and increase the SDM's likelihood of experiencing decision regret. This study establishes the relationship between decisional conflict and decision regret and offers insight on tailoring decision support interventions to the preferences of SDMs of CCI patients.
