Caregivers play significant roles in the care of family members at the end-of-life in the ICU making difficult decisions. The family caregivers may experience significant depression and anxiety as a result of the caregiving stress. Very little research exists that investigates the relationships between psychological distress, decisional conflicts, and social support in this situation. Thus, the purpose of this study was to explore decisional conflict, social support, and psychological distress among Thai family caregivers of ICU patients, and to determine the role of social support as a potential mediator of the relationship between stressors and caregiving outcomes. A cross-sectional study was conducted from four hospitals in the Chiangmai province of Northern Thailand. A total 106 participants were adult family caregivers who were involved in treatment and care decisions for the end-of-life of the ICU patients. The results showed that most of family caregivers were female (72.6%) and close relatives (93.39%) such as parents, spouses, daughters/sons. Participants ranged in age from 20 to 66 years (M = 41.33, SD = 11.06). Around one-third participants reported a high level of anxiety and depressive symptoms (29.2%, 24.5%, respectively). Most participants (47.6 %) selected supportive care as their choice of treatment options, they made for their family member. Decisional conflict and perceived social support significantly predicted both anxiety (F = 15.212, p < .001) and depression (F = 27.501, p < .001) among family caregivers. Higher levels of decisional conflict were not only positively associated with higher anxiety (B = .778, p < .001) but also higher depression (B = .774, p < .001). According to mediation analysis, the social support served as partial mediator between decisional conflict and psychological distress (anxiety and depression). Results support the stress process model and provide evidence that Thai family caregivers experience decisional conflict that is associated with anxiety and depression. Social support was a significant mediating factor and should be promoted as a strategy to reduce psychological distress in this population. Further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effects of stress and decisional conflict in family caregivers.
