Building Resilience for Advance Care Planning (ACP) in Chinese Americans
Completed
Conditions studied: Advance Care Planning
In brief
The goal of this observational study is to learn about how Chinese Americans engage in advance care planning (ACP) discussions with their family caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How do religious leaders discuss advance care planning and death-related topics with Chinese Americans who are diagnosed with cancer or heart disease in Chicago? 2. Are Chinese Americans living in Chicago ready to participate in ACP discussions with their family? 3. What kind of support and resources are required to engage in end-of-life care discussions among Chinese Americans/immigrants living in Chicago? 4. What do Chinese Americans with cancer, high blood pressure, or heart disease and their family members think about an ACP pamphlet made for Chinese Americans? Participants will share their experience either through interviews or a survey.
