Using the Experiences of Bereaved Caregivers to Inform Patient- and Caregiver-centered Advance Care Planning
Open accessAbstract
Background Traditional approaches to advance care planning (ACP) have many limitations; new approaches are being developed with the goal of improving end-of-life care.Objective To understand how the end-of-life care experiences of older patients and their caregivers can inform the development of new approaches to ACP.Design Qualitative cross-sectional study.Participants Caregivers of community-dwelling persons age > or = 60 years who died with advanced cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or heart failure during follow-up in a longitudinal study.Approach In-depth interviews were conducted 6 months after the patient's death with 64 caregivers. Interviews began with open-ended questions to encourage the caregiver to tell the story of the patient's experiences at the end of life. Additional questions asked about how decisions were made, patient-caregiver, patient-clinician, and caregiver-clinician communication.Main results Although the experiences recounted by caregivers were highly individual, several common themes emerged from the interviews. These included the following: 1) the lack of availability of treatment options for certain patients, prompting patients and caregivers to consider broader end-of-life issues, 2) changes in preferences at the very end of an illness, 3) variability in patient and caregiver desire for and readiness to hear information about the patient's illness, and 4) difficulties with patient-caregiver communication.Discussion The experiences of older patients at the end of life and their caregivers support a form of ACP that includes a broader set of issues than treatment decision-making alone, recognizes the dynamic nature of preferences, and focuses on addressing barriers to patient-caregiver communication.

Patients and families desire conversations about end-of-life care.
“Patients and families desire conversations about end-of-life care.46,47”
From Managing with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (2013) · cites this paper as [47]
The Discussion (page unavailable) describes caregivers’ recollections of missed opportunities to communicate with patients about end-of-life care. It also emphasizes varying preferences and says some patients and caregivers did not want prognostic information, so the unqualified claim that patients and families desire such conversations overstates the finding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
