Article

GALLAGHER, Meagan L. | BROWN, Jeanette P. | CLAPP, Douglass B. | CHRISTENSEN, Scott S.

This scholarly project implemented the 3 Wishes Project (3WP), which aims to fulfill the final wishes of dying critically ill patients, in a 16-bed tertiary intensive care unit (ICU). The project assessed outcomes through surveys, mortality, and intervention records. The initial implementation involved 11 patients and 49 fulfilled wishes. A comparison of pre- and postintervention data showed statistically significant increases in perceptions of end-of-life care, services, and interprofessional communication. All found the 3WP valuable for patients and families, and 61% reported boosted morale.
