Summary
The aims of this study are to (1) identify the advance care planning deliberation process among 20 dyads of patients with advanced cancer and family caregivers and (2) conduct usability testing among 9 dyads to refine the content and design of the web-based resilience-building intervention.
Detailed description
Patients with advanced cancer have not fully benefited from advance care planning due to the high levels of anxiety and depression experienced and other barriers that affect their appraisals and coping. Despite the protective effects of resilience, there have been few clinical trials improving the resilience skills of patients with advanced cancer and their family caregivers to help initiate advance care planning discussions and sustain engagement. This research will provide new insights through using a dyadic intervention approach to advance care planning while developing and evaluating a web-based resilience-building intervention to improve the completion of advance directives, resilience, coping, anxiety, and depression for patients with advanced cancer and their family caregivers.
