Community-Based Advance Care Planning Interventions for Minority Older Adults: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Racial/ethnic minority older adults in the United States often experience access, language, and cultural barriers to advance care planning. For the current study, a systematic review was conducted to summarize and appraise the current science on community-based interventions aimed at increasing advance care planning in racial/ethnic minority older adults. Five articles met the inclusion criteria, which represented four unique interventions in Asian American (n = 2) and Hispanic (n = 2) communities. Two interventions were nurse-led workshops and two were one-onone social worker-led sessions. Outcomes measured were intention to or completion of advance directive or advance care planning discussion; and improvement in advance directive knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and comfort
