How effective are resources to promote advance careplanning? Results ...

Although patient-centered care is widely accepted in health care practice, many patients still receive unnecessary or potentially inappropriate care (Cardona-Morrell et al., 2017). One approach that aims to improve shared-decision making for better health outcomes is advance care planning (ACP) (McMahan et al., 2021). Despite efforts that have been made in many countries to encourage people to engage in ACP, completion rates remain relatively low (Andreasen et al., 2019; Köstenberger et al., 2020). Further, debate continues on the best strategy to facilitate ACP engagement (Resick et al., 2020). This mixed-methods literature review aims to systematically examine the role of message content and message tailoring in ACP resources in existing ACP interventions (Diegelmann et al., 2022).
