Use of the serious illness conversation guide (SICG) in end-of-life communications：a scoping review

Previous studies have conducted a comprehensive review of the core elements and patient identification of serious illness conversation guide(SICG), but they did not address the scope of SICG application in end-of-life communication (countries, languages, populations), the core characteristics of the intervention based on SICG, and the evaluation indicators.The aim of this scoping review is to identify and describe all research related to how the SICG is used in end-of-life communications and what influence this has on advance care planning and quality of patients in end of life.
