Focus group study identifies relational strategies to manage uncertainty in serious illness, suggesting better alignment among stakeholders.
This study has generated a new model to approach uncertainty in serious illness. These findings suggest shifting the focus from the patient alone as an individual to strengthening relationality across the care team. Our findings emphasise the need to psychologically reframe living with uncertainty as a core goal, and to negotiate and align the needs of patients, carers, and clinicians when sharing uncertainty.
