Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the importance of Advance Care Planning (ACP) for patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) and Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis (PPF), recommending a collaborative approach with patients and families to improve care.
- A retrospective audit of medical charts from 60 patients who died between December 2017 and December 2020 revealed that while 95% had some documented ACP elements, none contained all fourteen identified key elements.
- Findings suggest that ACP discussions in the care of IPF/PPF patients are often insufficient and superficial, highlighting the need for better implementation of structured ACP conversations and documentation to truly understand patient preferences.
Aim: To investigate the association of resilience with self-care and quality of life in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
