简要总结
The purpose of this study is to explore patient perspectives on Advance Care Planning (ACP) prior to cardiac surgery, including perceptions of benefits, drawbacks, and barriers to ACP.
详细描述
In this study, we plan to interview 40 patients who are scheduled to undergo cardiac surgery about their perspectives on preoperative ACP and discussion of their values, goals of care, and preferences for prolonged care in hospital prior to having surgery. We plan to conduct and audio record one-on-one interviews that are structured around standard questions about ACP. After recordings are completed, we plan to conduct an analysis of the interviews to find common themes and ideas that participants have about preoperative advance care planning. These results will help us understand whether patients value and wish to participate in advance care planning prior to major surgery, and will help to guide the structure and content of preoperative advance care plan programs in the future.
