Abstract

s, and PsycINFO, with search results compiled in a reference manager. Inclusion and exclusion criteria for the articles were developed. Articles were screened by a title-abstract primary screen, title-abstract secondary screen, and full article screen. Final articles were reviewed and relevant data and study quality metrics were abstracted into a predetermined abstraction sheet with the abstracted data collected into summary tables. Tables were examined to reveal emerging themes. A total of 4531 articles were collected in the reference manager following the database searches. Primary and secondary title/abstract screen yielded a total of 157 articles appropriate for full review. Emerging themes already reveal the utilization of over twenty different types of advance care planning aids with study populations ranging from healthy asymptomatic adults to severely ill, highly symptomatic patients and families. Conclusion. Advance care planning decision aids are being developed for, and tested in, a wide variety of patient populations. They improve patient and surrogate comfort with decision making and comprehension, though their impact on health care utilization is still unclear.
