Area of Science:
- Palliative Care
- Medical Ethics
- Health Communication
Background:
- High-quality end-of-life care prioritizes patient choice and control.
- Advance care planning (ACP) facilitates documentation of patient preferences and future care wishes.
- The Preferred Priorities for Care (PPC) document is a key tool for ACP.
Purpose of the Study:
- To enhance understanding of the PPC document as an end-of-life care tool.
- To increase practitioner knowledge, confidence, and competence in conducting ACP conversations.
- To explore the practical application of ACP through case studies.
Main Methods:
- Focus on the utilization of the patient-held Preferred Priorities for Care (PPC) document.
- Inclusion of four case studies to illustrate theoretical concepts in practice.
- Discussion of ACP principles and their application in end-of-life care.
Main Results:
- The PPC document serves as a practical tool for advance care planning.
- Case studies demonstrate the integration of PPC into patient care.
- Enhanced understanding and confidence among practitioners engaging in ACP discussions.
Conclusions:
