Communication in dyads of adult children at the end of life with their parents and parents at the end of life with their adult children: Findings from a mixed-methods study.

Individual preferences for information sharing suggest that the divergent needs of dyad partners must be carefully negotiated to ensure that patients are able to address important topics without putting too great an emotional burden on their family members. Tailored psychosocial support measures are needed to achieve this goal. The study was registered prospectively in the German Clinical Trials Register (registration N° DRKS00013206).
