Summary

This proposed study aims to examine the effects of a culturally-sensitive theory-driven advance care planning (ACP) game in increasing the self-efficacy and readiness of ACP behaviours among Chinese community-dwelling older adults. This is a mixed methods study with the quantitative paradigm being the main research approached used. The quantitative arm will be a randomized controlled trial (RCT). The qualitative arm will adopt focus group interviews for data collection. Recruited subjects from the community centres will be randomly allocated to the intervention and control group. The older adults in the experimental group will receive an ACP board game delivered by trained facilitators, whereas the older adults in the control group will receive another board game about healthy lifestyle. The outcome measures of the older adults will include the ACP Engagement scale, the Life-Support Preferences Questionnaire (LSPQ), a self-developed ACP knowledge questionnaire and those data will be collected at baseline (T0), immediately post-intervention(T1), at 1 month (T2), and 3 month (T3). The qualitative arm of this study will contribute to the understanding of issues and effects of ACP game as an intervention. Its finding will complement the results obtained from the RCT.
