Abstract
Background and purpose: Diverse populations are less likely to engage in end-of-life-care-planning. This literature review examined research on end-of-life planning interventions for diverse patient populations.
Methods: This systematic search included Academic Search Complete, Cochrane, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. Results were limited to peer-reviewed articles published in English between 2015 to 2019.
Conclusions: Each intervention was effective at increasing advance care planning (ACP) engagement. Community-based programs are costlier. PREPARE used less resources. If diverse populations are specifically targeted, ACP engagement increases.
Implications for practice: Healthcare institutions and practitioners should employ targeted interventions for ACP engagement of diverse groups.
Keywords: end-of-life-care planning, diverse patients, advance directive, advance care planning, ACP interventions
