The BOOST paediatric advance care planning intervention for adolescents with cancer and their parents: development, acceptability and feasibility.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although advance care planning (ACP) has been widely recommended to support patient and family engagement in understanding the patient's values, preferences and goals of care, there are only a few models in paediatric oncology that capture ACP as a process of behaviour change. We aimed to develop and test the acceptability and feasibility of BOOST pACP (Benefits of Obtaining Ownership Systematically Together in paediatric Advance Care Planning) - an intervention to improve ACP in adolescents with cancer, their parents and paediatric oncologists.

Methods

Several methods informed the intervention development process: 1) Problem identification: interviews with 11 healthcare professionals working in paediatric oncology; 2) Identification of evidence: literature review
