Abstract

Objective This study conducts a scoping review of internet interventions in advance care planning (ACP) to identify their key elements, providing a reference for future research. Methods A systematic search was performed across PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases from their inception until June 4, 2024. Included studies were screened and summarized, resulting in 36 articles. Results The identified elements of internet interventions included providing specific ACP information, focusing on preparation and timing, clarifying values, offering treatment options, establishing healthcare proxies, generating ACP documents, encouraging document sharing, and facilitating communication. Outcome indicators encompassed process metrics, behavioral indicators, care outcomes, and feasibility assessments. Conclusion Internet interventions show promise in ACP applications, though their long-term effects on patient outcomes require further investigation. Future research should adapt foreign tools to the Chinese context, develop localized internet ACP tools, explore effective intervention strategies, and refine evaluation metrics to enhance clinical decision support.
