Study Summary
This study proposes to evaluate, among adults with advanced heart failure (HF) and their health care providers, the effects of a communication intervention designed to improve patient-provider communication about goals of care (GoC). Patient activated GoC conversations can result in providers' better understanding their patients' preferences for end-of-life care. GoC conversations that occur over time may allow patients and providers to consider a wider range of options earlier in the HF illness trajectory. Preliminary data suggests that the proposed GoC intervention increases the occurrence and quality of patient-provider communication about end-of-life care for advanced COPD. The proposed study will test the effects of the GoC intervention compared to usual care, using a randomized, 2-group (N = 80, n = 40/arm), repeated-measures design. Measures will be taken at a patient's baseline study entry and after the next scheduled clinic visit. Specific Aim 1 is to evaluate change in number of GoC conversations between patient and provider between the two groups. Specific Aim 2 is to examine whether the intervention increases patient quality of life, referrals to palliative care, advance care planning, decreases depression and anxiety. Specific Aim 3 is to describe the feasibility, acceptability, perceived benefits, burden, and implementation success of the intervention in the heart failure clinic setting. Patients will be randomized to the GoC intervention or to receive usual care. Patients in the GoC intervention group, telephone coaching by a research nurse to help patients role-play talking with their HF providers. Both patients and their providers, will be provided with summaries of individualized, patient-centered information about patient preferences for communicating about end-of-life care and patient self-identified barriers to and facilitators of communication about end-of-life care with tips on how to initiate goals of care discussions.
