Analysis centers on the effectiveness of ACP in preserving patient identity and values.

Main Results:

ACP's primary benefit lies in fostering meaningful conversations about deeply held values and personal identity.
The process enhances relationships between patients, family caregivers, and healthcare professionals.
Shared understanding and collective decision-making are improved through ACP.

Conclusions:

Advance care planning is most effective when it prioritizes preserving patient identity and values.
