Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The proposed study will adapt and pilot test an efficacious advance care planning interventions, Sharing Patient's Illness Representations to Increase Trust (SPIRIT), with patients with mild dementia and their surrogates to promote open, honest discussions while such discussions about end-of-life care are possible. Patient and surrogate decision maker dyads will participate in a single SPIRIT session and will then have a follow up phone call 2-3 days later. One year after the SPIRIT session some surrogates will be contacted to provide additional feedback about the intervention.
