Abstract

Advance Care Planning (ACP) is an agreement of preferred care between patients, family, and the health care team that is utilised should the patient become incapacitated. ACP uptake and awareness is still low in Thailand due to the lack of practical tool to initiate ACP and cultural barriers to see death as a taboo and sensitive subject. The Life Unlocking Card Game is an intervention uses the gamified element to raise ACP awareness. This study explored the experience of the Life Unlocking Card Game as a tool to raise death and ACP awareness in Thailand.
