Interventions

a Nurse-led, Motivational Interview

Family member participants will receive three counselling sessions: (1) preparatory session, (2) motivation session, and (3) planning session. The preparatory session will take 10-15 minutes, and the following two sessions at weeks 2 \& 3, with 30-45 min, respectively. The sessions can be delivered via face-to-face, zoom meeting, or telephones. Before each session, the nurse will first assess the family member's readiness to engage in ACP based on the State to Change algorithm. Family members who have never thought about ACP will be in the pre-contemplation state. Family members who are willing to discuss end-of-life care will be in the contemplation state. Those who are ready to talk about end-of-life planning will be in the planning state. Readiness-based ACP goals will be established, and state-matched motivational interview counseling will be customized for each participant.
