Advance Care Planning Impact on the Consistency of Older Adults With Lung Cancer and Their Potential Surrogates Regarding Life-Sustaining Treatment Preferences
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Oct 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This randomized controlled trial examined whether an advance care planning (ACP) tabletop game ("Walking with Wishes") could improve the consistency of life-sustaining treatment preferences between older adults with lung cancer and their potential surrogates (family members or friends), compared to a standard ACP manual. Eligible dyads (patient-surrogate pairs) were randomized 1:1 to either the tabletop game intervention or the ACP manual control group. The primary outcome was the absolute gap score on the modified Life Support Preferences Questionnaire (m-LSPQ), measuring the difference between patient and surrogate preferences for five life-sustaining treatments (antibiotics, CPR, surgery, nasogastric tube feeding, and intravenous infusion) across nine health scenarios. Secondary outcomes included state anxiety (STAI-S) for both patients and surrogates. The m-LSPQ was assessed at baseline (T0), 2 weeks (T2), and 6 weeks (T3) post-intervention. The STAI-S was additionally assessed immediately post-intervention (T1) to capture acute emotional responses to the intervention.
