Abstract (type = abstract)
Purpose: This quality improvement project aimed to examine the efficacy of a nurse-driven, culturally tailored Advance Care Planning (ACP) education, in a church-based setting. ACP and Advance Directives (AD) are vital for the End-of-Life (EOL) decision-making. Despite this critical fact, in the US, ethnic minority groups are less likely to be engaged in the ACP process than White Americans. Being unprepared for death decreases EOL quality care, creates decision-making burden for family, exposes to undesirable medical treatments, and increases cost.

Methodology: The intervention utilized Five Wishes AD to increase ACP knowledge and promote behavior change related to AD adaption among Polish Roman-Catholics. The project used a convenience sample as a single group pre-post-post measure design for Polish participants (n=40) from a Roman-Catholic church. Measured domains included demographic factors, individual EOL preferences, and ACP engagement.

Results: Although limited, the project findings revealed that a nurse-led culturally tailored ACP education program was beneficial to the Polish ethnic minority group. The success was evident by a marked increase in participant’s level of readiness to engage in the ACP process (p<0.05) and 70% AD completion rate.

Implication for Practice: The results encourage nurse-driven faith-based ACP education as it offers an opportunity to meet the holistic needs of the ethnic group and allow for incorporating faith into nursing practice. Acknowledging the dynamic transformations in population demographics and current healthcare economics, nurses in all fields of practice have a key role to play in assisting the public to make informed EOL decisions prior to a crisis, regardless of an individual’s age, health status or religious views.
