Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to support EOL decision-making in patients with advanced COPD and their family members. A parallel two-arm single-blinded randomised controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effects of a specific decision support intervention. A total of 226 patients with advanced COPD and their designated family members will be recruited from hospital wards and outpatient clinics.


Clinical Trial Description

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive life-limiting condition. However, patients with advanced COPD and their family members generally are unprepared for end-of-life (EOL) situations. The Ottawa Decision Support Framework model is adopted to address the patients' decisional needs for the difficult decisions in EOL care. The participants will be randomly allocated to either the intervention group to receive the decision support intervention or the control group to receive general health coaching. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and 1- and 6-month post-allocation. Subsequently, a descriptive qualitative study will be conducted with a subsample of 30 dyads to explore how the intervention influenced the study outcomes. ;
