The study on the effectiveness of a training program in Advance Care Planning (ACP) with primary care professionals has been designed as a cluster-randomized clinical trial. Aim: To measure the effectiveness of a training program on ACP in Primary healthcare professionals in a population area of Catalonia. Design: Cluster Randomized clinical trial with a measure of pre-post effectiveness between groups of intervention based on the measurement of self-efficacy in advance care planning. Scope: Barcelona Nord and Maresme (BNM). Population: Primary care doctors and nurses. Sample: doctors and nurses from the Primary Care Service (SAP) of the BNM. The study is divided into 3 phases: 1) Planning: training design, randomization and parallel assignment in 2 arms, online training versus online and face-to-face training; 2) Implementation: data collection pre-intervention and training; 3) Evaluation: post data collection (1 follow-up 4 months after recruitment/ after training) and data analysis. Intervention: both arms (A and B) will carry out the online training which consists of a 10 hours course. Arm B will also do the 6-hour face-to-face workshop, divided into two sessions of 3 hours. Primary outcome: ACP Self-efficacy (using a validated scale Advance Care Planning-Self Efficacy Spanish (ACP_SEs). Secondary outcomes: Socio-demographic: age, gender, years of professional experience and in the professional field, previous knowledge in ACP, previous training in ACP; training Satisfaction; ACP Registration Variables in the medical records of patients identified as chronic advanced patients:% clinical records with ACP processes registration, identification of the surrogate decision-maker, values, preferences, and specific decisions records, identification of the place of care and of death preferred, adequacy of the place of death in case of death. Analysis: calculation of the sample applying correction values for the cluster effect; mean, median, range, confidence interval, and standard deviation of quantitative variables and absolute and relative frequency of qualitative variables. Pre- and post-comparison for the measurement of variance (ANOVA) resulting between the intervention groups from the chi-square test; multivariate logistic regression model and 5% significance level

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
