    Application of Terror Management Theory to End-Of-Life Care Decision-Making: A Narrative Literature Review
    (Sage, 2022-06) Perry, Laura M.; Mossman, Brenna; Lewson, Ashley B.; Gerhart, James I.; Freestone, Lily; Hoerger, Michael; Psychology, School of Science
    Patients with serious illnesses often do not engage in discussions about end-of-life care decision-making, or do so reluctantly. These discussions can be useful in facilitating advance care planning and connecting patients to services such as palliative care that improve quality of life. Terror Management Theory, a social psychology theory stating that humans are motivated to resolve the discomfort surrounding their inevitable death, has been discussed in the psychology literature as an underlying basis of human decision-making and behavior. This paper explores how Terror Management Theory could be extended to seriously ill populations and applied to their healthcare decision-making processes and quality of care received.

    Caught in a Loop with Advance Care Planning and Advance Directives: How to Move Forward?
    (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2022-03) Periyakoil, Vyjeyanthi S.; von Gunten, Charles F.; Arnold, Robert; Hickman, Susan; Morrison, Sean; Sudore, Rebecca; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Completion of an advance care planning (ACP) process and/or an advance directive should result in patients receiving the care they desire at the end of life. However, three decades of research have shown that is just not the case. ACP has been a front runner in developing the science within palliative care. Some positive outcomes such as lowering levels of surrogate grief may be associated with ACP. Yet, it does not appear that further ACP research will ensure that seriously ill patients will get goal-concordant care. An unfortunate consequence of palliative care research and advocacy so far is the misguided notion of many hospital systems trying to solve their palliative care problems by only implementing an ACP initiative. At best, ACP is but one tool in the collective palliative care toolbox. New tools are needed. Given that we have finite resources, future research should focus more on tools to improve symptom management, better models of care, and systems that will ensure goal-concordant care that meet the needs of the population that the health care system is designed to meet.
