Abstract

Objective:The objective of this scoping review is to investigate and map existing empirical evidence on patient involvement interventions helping patients with end-stage kidney disease to make end-of-life care decisions about kidney services.Introduction:Patients with end-stage kidney disease have a high disease burden and mortality rate. Despite this, kidney services differ in how they offer and integrate end-of-life care, if it is offered at all. Some countries have established advance care planning protocols to encourage patient involvement when offering end-of-life care options as part of end-stage kidney disease care. However, there is a limited understanding of the components of patient involvement interventions designed to support patients with end-stage kidney disease making decisions about end-of-life care.Inclusion criteria:The review will consider studies on patient involvement interventions concerning end-of-life care decisions for patients with end-stage kidney disease. A broad definition of patient involvement interventions will be used. Studies on interventions that do not involve patients or relatives will be excluded. The review will focus on interventions applied to kidney health care and other services, such as community-based health care.Methods:MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and CINAHL will be searched. The literature will be screened for inclusion by two independent reviewers. Data synthesis will be conducted through relational analysis investigating patient involvement interventions and relevant information in line with the review objective and questions. Data will be extracted and listed in the data extraction instruments, accompanied by a narrative summary describing how the results relate to the review objective.
