What this Trial Is About
'My Voice' is a website intervention developed to enable advance care planning (ACP) conversations for patients with kidney disease on dialysis, educate patients on their illness, help identify their goals and preferences for EOL care, and coaches them on how to speak with their HCPs and loved ones. This study aims to evaluate if 'My Voice' intervention improves quality of ACP conversations between patients and providers, and patients and family carers; improves patient's knowledge about kidney failure, engagement in ACP and preparedness for future end of life care compared to usual practices for ACP in dialysis centres.
