A Community-based Advance Care Planning Programme for Patients With Advanced Disease

Chronic Disease Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Community-based Advance Care Planning Programme to Improve End-of-life Care in Patients With Advanced Disease: A Mixed-method Approach

Clinical Trial Summary

Advance care planning has been recommended as an integral part of care for patients with life-limiting disease, but relevant development in Hong Kong is still in its infancy. This proposed study attempts to address this service gap by promoting advance care planning to patients with advanced disease. It is hypothesized that the proportion of patients whose end-of-life care preferences were known in the experimental group will be significantly higher than that in the control group.

Clinical Trial Description

This study aims to evaluate the impacts of a community-based advance care planning programme on end-of-life care of patients with advanced disease. A mixed-method approach, including a randomized controlled trial and qualitative interviews, will be used. Participants in the experimental group will received a structured advance care planning programme delivered by a trained facilitator. It includes an educational component, reflection and a family meeting. ;
