Methods
This mixed-method study evaluated the implementation of the 3WP in a
20-bed community ICU in Southern Ontario, Canada. Patients were
considered for the 3WP if they had a high likelihood of imminent death
or planned withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy. Quantitative data
include patient demographic data and wishes implemented. Following the
qualitative descriptive approach, semi-structured interviews were
conducted with purposively sampled clinicians and key-stakeholders. Data
from transcribed interviews were analyzed in triplicate through
qualitative content analysis.
