The ProActive Study- Integrating a Proactive and Palliative Care Approach to Diabetic Ulcer Care

Sponsor: Ulla Riis Madsen

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The ProActive study aims to investigate the feasibility of integrating a proactive palliative care approach into routine care for people with diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). The ProActive model includes procedures to identify patients who may benefit from a palliative approach and structured serious illness conversations (SIC) addressing patients' health situation, concerns, priorities, and preferences for care. Relatives may be involved when appropriate. The study examines the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the ProActive model and its implementation from the perspectives of patients, relatives, and healthcare professionals. It also evaluates the feasibility of outcome measures and data collection procedures for a future effectiveness study and examines the procedures used to identify patients who may benefit from the intervention. The feasibility study is conducted at two DFU clinics in Denmark and consists of four complementary sub-studies using qualitative and quantitative methods.
