Actual (reported)Disparities in palliative care for patients with serious illness exist because of gaps in knowledge around patient centered psychological, social, and spiritual palliative care interventions. Patient-centered palliative care communication interventions must be informed by the perspectives of patients who are living each day with their serious illness. Yet, there is a lack of research about how to efficiently and effectively integrate the patient's narrative into the electronic health record (EHR). The central hypothesis of this proposal is that the implementation of a patient-centered narrative intervention with patients with serious illness will result in improved patient-nurse communication and improved patient psychosocial and spiritual well-being.

Actual (reported)Change in Quality of Communication: QOC (Quality of Communication) survey
The QOC survey assesses patients' perceptions of the quality of communication with nurses. The QOC was initially developed from qualitative interviews and focus groups with diverse set of patients, families and providers. The QOC has 19 items, with scores ranging from 0 (worst) to 10 (best). Internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the QOC has been established across several illness groups, and the QOC survey's responsiveness to communication interventions has been demonstrated by changes in pre- and post-intervention scores.

Patients in the narrative intervention group will participate in an interview and the resulting narrative will be uploaded to the electronic medical record. This group will also complete outcome measures (questionnaires) and exit interview.
Patients in the usual care group will complete outcome measures (questionnaires) and exit interview only.
Research staff conducts an open-ended, audio-recorded interview with the patient about their illness and how this illness has affected their psycho-social-spiritual well-being. The investigators will use the interview transcription to create a meta-narrative, which is then uploaded to the electronic medical record and the patient's primary nurse is notified that it is available to read.

The final data set will include de-identified self-reported demographic and behavioral data from self-report, questionnaires, and interviews. The de-identified data and associated documentation will be made available to the community of scientists interested in palliative care as described in "access criteria." Additionally, aggregate, de-identified results will be submitted to ClinicalTrials.gov no later than one year after the trial's primary completion date.
