Filter by:The goal of this descriptive observational study is to evaluate the preference of French adult patients followed in the context of a oncological disease, regarding the choice of the preferred healthcare professional to discuss advance care planning. To this end, voluntary participants will be asked to indicate their preferences by answering a self-questionnaire available in electronic or paper format.
The aim of this mixed-methods study is to describe both the implementation process and outcomes of the online module Advance Care Plan for (hemato-)oncology patients within the oncology-network CONCORD. The main question is: How is implementation and assurance of the advance care plan in daily care for (hemato-)oncological patients within CONCORD achieved, so that early integration of advance care planning in oncological care takes place and patient preferences are discussed? Healthcare providers and patients are asked to use the module and share their experiences with it.
Less than 15% of Chinese Americans complete advance directives. That is less than half of the 37% completion rate in the US general population. This disparity in the use of advance care planning between White Americans and Chinese Americans may extend to disparities in end-of-life care. To address such disparities in end-of-life care, we will develop and assess the acceptability of a culturally tailored resilience-building intervention to help Chinese Americans with cancer or heart disease and their family caregivers engage in advance care planning discussions.
The homeless population is aging, with an increasing proportion of individuals over age 50 who experience accelerated aging, high rates of mortality, and a high risk of not having their wishes honored at the end of life. The goal of this randomized control trial (RCT) is to test the effectiveness of adapted evidence-based advance care planning (ACP) interventions for formerly chronically homeless older adults living in permanent supportive housing (PSH).
Affordable housing residents continue to experience multi-faceted insecurity and advance care planning (ACP) challenges even after obtaining secure housing, resulting in significant inequities in quality of care during times of cognitive incapacity. To promote proactive planning for affordable housing residents, this proposal is for a pilot study to test a novel trauma-informed care adapted advance care planning intervention with the following aims: to test initial efficacy of the intervention on ACP outcomes (Aim 1) and determine resident perceptions of intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility and perceived implementation barriers and facilitators (Aim 2). These data will support the development of a larger scale study of ACP interventions within a resiliency-based hub model to comprehensively support whole-person care and proactive planning for times of cognitive incapacity.
The study aims to develop and evaluate a web-based interactive platform (called 'My Voice') that helps to educate patients with heart failure and their caregivers about heart failure, identify their goals for end-of-life care, and share these with their caregivers and doctors.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing (MI) intervention in enhancing advance care planning (ACP) among older adults who have visited the Emergency Room (ER) in the past six months and their family caregivers. The main question it aims to answer is: The effectiveness of the MI-based ACP intervention implemented within six months of an ER visit on improving older adults' advance directives (AD) completion rate. Compared to participants in the control group who will only receive a self-education booklet, participants in the intervention group will receive a motivational interview educational intervention to see the effectiveness of an MI-based ACP intervention implemented within six months following an emergency room visit regarding the completion of AD for older adults.
The aims of this study are to (1) identify the advance care planning deliberation process among 20 dyads of patients with advanced cancer and family caregivers and (2) conduct usability testing among 9 dyads to refine the content and design of the web-based resilience-building intervention.
The study aims to explore the impact of advance care planning on the attitudes, behavioral intentions, hopes, and anxiety of elderly people with cancer on advance care planning with the assistance of the "Advance Care Consultation for the Elderly" manual.
This study was to explore the impacts of participating in "ACP board game for life" on death preparation, death anxiety, end-of-life care preferences, and intervention perception in stage 4-5 CKD patients with advanced chronic kidney diseases in a medical center.
