Abstract

Discussions involving Advanced Care Planning (ACP) can be challenging in the setting of early dementia. In this study, we aimed to evaluate an educational intervention that focused on ACP in elderly people with mild cognitive impairment in Indonesia. This small pilot study used a randomized control trial design. A total of 19 respondents with mild cognitive disorders were recruited and randomly assigned to either an experimental (video, discussion, and print material) or control group (print material alone). Knowledge of ACP, confidence in making end-of-life decisions, and care preferences were compared between the two groups. A significant increase was noted in knowledge (p = 0.002) and confidence (p = 0.003), yet regarding preferences, only 30% of respondents in the experimental group completed the ACP documentation, and therefore limited conclusions could be made. Providing information in different formats to people with a mild cognitive impairment may increase their ability to participate in ACP. Further research is needed involving greater numbers of respondents.
