Study Summary

Hypotheses 1a and 1b: Compared to Supportive Conversation arm, the EMPOWER intervention will significantly decrease surrogate decision makers' symptoms of grief and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (primary outcomes); and H1b. experiential avoidance, depression, regrets, and increases in patients' value-concordant care (secondary outcomes) at T1-T4. Hypothesis 2. Qualitative data will provide insights not captured by quantitative data. Hypothesis 3. Reductions in experiential avoidance will mediate reductions in grief and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms, highlighting it as important to target in future implementation.

Primary Outcome

Symptoms of prolonged grief disorder, as measured by the Prolonged Grief-13-Revised, will be compared between the week following the intervention, at one month follow-up and at twelve-month follow-up . The PG-13-R consists of 13 items and total score can range from 0 to 62. Higher total scores represent greater symptom burden. Lower scores represent better outcomes.
