Impact of a nurse-led advance care planning intervention on satisfaction, health related quality of life and healthcare utilization among patients with severe respiratory disease: A randomized patient preference trial
Journal of Pain and Symptom Management Dec 05, 2019
Sinclair C, Auret KA, Evans SF, et al. - Researchers conducted a multi-center, open-label, patient-preference, randomized controlled trial to examine the impacts of a nurse-led, facilitated advance care planning (ACP) intervention among participants with the severe respiratory disease on self-reported or clinical outcomes. They recruited 149 participants across two study settings (metropolitan tertiary hospital respiratory department and rural sites) and allocated 106 to receive the ACP intervention. Outcomes revealed no impact of the ACP intervention on satisfaction, health-related quality of life or 12-month mortality rate. During the end-of-life period, there may possibly an association of facilitated ACP with a different type of healthcare utilization.
