Web-Based Advance Care Planning for Patients With Advanced Cancer
Conditions: Advanced Cancer
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 110
Sponsor: Tri-Service General Hospital (TSGH)
Location: Tri-Service General Hospital Taipei Taipei City
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether a web-based advance care planning (ACP) intervention can reduce preferences for aggressive life-sustaining treatments among patients with advanced cancer.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does a web-based ACP intervention reduce preferences for aggressive life-sustaining treatments among patients with advanced cancer?
* Does a web-based ACP intervention support informed medical decision-making regarding future care?
Researchers will compare a web-based ACP intervention plus a Patient Right to Autonomy Act leaflet with a Patient Right to Autonomy Act leaflet alone to determine whether the web-based ACP intervention is more effective in reducing preferences for aggressive life-sustaining treatments.
Participants will:
* Be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group
* Receive either a web-based ACP educational program plus a Patient Right to Autonomy Act leaflet, or a Patient Right to Autonomy Act leaflet alone
* Complete questionnaires at baseline, immediately after the intervention, and one week after the intervention
