Summary
This study looks at whether a web-based decision aid can help parents of unborn or newborn babies with life-threatening congenital heart disease make informed choices and feel less stressed. About 135 parents will be randomly assigned to use the decision aid alone or with an extra values-clarification exercise, and their stress levels will be measured three months later. The goal is to improve family-centered care and shared decision-making in a very difficult situation.
