简要总结
The purpose of the study is to develop a culturally tailored digital resilience-building intervention to help East Asian immigrants engage in advance care planning discussions with their family caregivers.
详细描述
Advance care planning (ACP) is a process to facilitate decision-making for future care and document values and preferences. However, the advance directive completion rates in East Asian Americans are low, which may extend to disparities in end-of-life care, including rates of hospice use and prevalence of unwanted aggressive treatments. To address this, this study uses information technology to develop a culturally tailored digital resilience-building intervention with and for East Asian immigrants to help them engage in ACP discussions. There are two aims of this study: (1) Conduct semi-structured interviews with a total of 30 religious leaders to identify the barriers and facilitators associated with discussing ACP and death-related topics with immigrants from China/Taiwan, Japan, and Korea and (2) Develop a culturally tailored digital resilience-building intervention using think-aloud interviews with 27 pairs of East Asian immigrants with cancer and their family caregivers (9 pairs each for immigrants from China/Taiwan, Japan, and Korea).
