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.
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.
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.
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 purpose of the study is to develop a culturally tailored digital resilience-building intervention to help East Asian immigrants engage in advance care planning discussions with their family caregivers.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of an interactive website on advance care planning for patients living with heart failure (HF-ACP website). The investigators will randomize patients to either the HF-ACP website or usual care to determine if the participants who use the HF-ACP website have higher advance care planning completion rates than participants assigned to usual care.
