The importance of effective advance care planning is often underestimated by professionals caring for care home residents. Using a simulated scenario, this model aimed to highlight the importance of timely advance care planning for care home residents. An adapted simulation effectiveness tool was used to evaluate a simulated scenario of a resident with advanced dementia. Feedback from this tool, N = 28 (response rate 82%), suggests this model was well received and that simulation training delivered by a multi-professional faculty, effectively demonstrates the benefits of early advance care planning for residents with dementia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
