Cocreation of a Digital Tool for Proactive End-of-Life Communication: Protocol for a Participatory Action Research Project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Proactive end-of-life (EoL) conversations can help individuals, their significant others, and health care professionals be better prepared to confront dying and future EoL decision-making. Talking about EoL issues may be unfamiliar and difficult; tools are increasingly used to support such conversations. While using digital tools presents many advantages, the development processes of such are seldom robustly reported. The project outlined here has the overall aim of further developing and investigating promotion of early, proactive EoL conversations by cocreating and testing, together with potential community-based end users, a digital version of an existing tool, the DöBra cards.

Objective

The aim of this paper is to outline the protocol for a funded participator
