Official title

A Media Communication Intervention to Increase Engagement in Advance Care Planning Among Advanced Cancer Patients

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

Advance care planning (ACP) is critical to the provision of quality end-of-life (EoL) care and has been associated with greater likelihood of patients' EoL wishes being followed. Despite the importance of engaging in ACP, less than half of cancer patients engage in ACP and those with low health literacy are at greatest risk of not completing advance directives. Major limitations of prior work include not effectively improving knowledge of ACP and patients viewing ACP as irrelevant. The proposed studies aim to address these prior limitations by developing and pilot testing empirically grounded, novel, easy-to-understand, and engaging communication tools that apply the medium of animated videos to communicate ACP. Specifically, the proposed studies will develop and pilot-test four animated videos (description of ACP; importance of engaging in ACP now; importance of communicating ACP to loved ones, health care proxies, and providers; and how to communicate wishes and complete advance directives).
