Nurse-led normalised advance care planning service in hospital and community health settings: a qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advance Care Planning (ACP) by Registered Nurses (RNs) has been emerging. However, there is limited understanding about what RNs experience as they incorporate ACP into their practice. This study aimed to elicit the experiences of ACP RNs with the implementation of a normalised ACP (NACP) service in hospital and community care settings.

Methods

A qualitative descriptive study invited four ACP RNs who delivered a nurse-led NACP for a 6 months duration at two hospital and two community health care settings in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The experiences of the ACP RNs were captured through a semi-structured interview and weekly debriefing meetings. The interview recordings were transcribed verbatim and the minutes of weekly debriefing meetings were utilized. Da
