Measuring Self-Efficacy and Readiness for Advance Care Planning in Chinese Older Adults
J Pain Symptom Manage, 2020
The Chinese readiness and self-efficacy subscales of the ACP Engagement Survey are valid and reliable tools for assessing the preparedness of the Chinese older adults for ACP.
Brief English and Spanish Survey Detects Change in Response to Advance Care Planning Interventions
J Pain Symptom Manage, 2019
Shorter versions of the ACP Engagement Survey were able to detect within-group and between-group changes comparable with the 82-item version and can be useful for efficiently and effectively measuring ACP engagement in research and clinical settings.
J Pain Symptom Manage, 2018
Both PREPARE plus an easy-to-read AD and an AD-only markedly increased ACP engagement in a full range of ACP behaviors, including discussions and documentation, and engagement was nearly 100% with PREPARE + AD. Future ACP studies should examine a full range of ACP behaviors beyond ADs and the impact of PREPARE and easy-to-read AD implementation on health care systems.
Measuring Advance Care Planning: Optimizing the Advance Care Planning Engagement Survey
J Pain Symptom Manage, 2017
Shorter versions of the ACP Engagement Survey are valid, internally consistent, and able to detect change across a broad range of ACP behaviors for English and Spanish speakers. Shorter ACP Surveys can efficiently measure broad ACP behaviors in research and clinical settings.
Measuring engagement in advance care planning: a cross-sectional multicentre feasibility study
BMJ Open, 2016
The ACP Engagement Survey demonstrated feasibility and acceptability in outpatient settings but was less feasible and acceptable among hospitalised patients due to length. A shorter version may improve feasibility. Engagement in ACP was low to moderate.
PLoS One, 2013
A new Advance Care Planning Engagement Survey that measures behavior change (knowledge, contemplation, self-efficacy, and readiness) and multiple advance care planning actions demonstrates good reliability and validity. Further research is needed to assess whether survey scores improve in response to advance care planning interventions and whether scores are associated with receipt of care consistent with one's wishes.
