Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Previous studies inform that educational video about advanced care planning increases the knowledge of care for life prolongation, and affects the preference towards care for life prolongation and palliative care. However, being no resources are provided and orally explained, patients in the control group don't have enough time to fully aware of the information, also, since those studies are done mostly in the western countries, 'discussing with family members or guardians' part is missing, which is critical under contemporary Korean medical society. This study provides educational resources to both the intervention group and the control group and identifies if advanced care planning is discussed with family members or guardians.
Primary outcome of this study is end-of-life care preference. Participants of this study will fill out the baseline questionnaire about end-of-life care preference, end-of-life discussion and documentation, knowledge of ACP, etc. After that, participants will be allocated equally into the intervention group and the control group. The intervention group will receive a book and videos about advanced care planning which are based on Smart Management Strategy for Health(SMASH). The control group will receive a book and videos about pain control for cancer patients that were provided by Korea National Cancer Center. After reading and watching the educational materials, patients will get another questionnaire about knowledge of ACP, satisfaction on the materials, end-of-life care preference, and decision role preference. Participants will read and watch the materials for about 6-8 weeks and then they will be asked to complete another questionnaire which includes every questions from the baseline and post-intervention. The result from all three questionnaires (baseline, post-intervention, 7-week questionnaire) will be compiled and be compared with one another.
