Summary

Advance care planning has been recommended as an integral part of care for patients with life-limiting disease, but relevant development in Hong Kong is still in its infancy. This proposed study attempts to address this service gap by promoting advance care planning to patients with advanced disease. It is hypothesized that the proportion of patients whose end-of-life care preferences were known in the experimental group will be significantly higher than that in the control group.

Advance care planning programme

It is a multi-faceted programme which includes an educational component with support of multimedia materials, reflection on personal values and a facilitated discussion between patient and family carer over future care. It will be delivered to each pair of participant and family carer on individual basis. By the end of the programme, each participant will have a personal workbook summarising the advance care planning process for record.
