Go wish card game for meaningful conversations in the oncology healthcare context : a narrative review
Article indépendant
The Go Wish Card Game (GWCG) is emerging as a valuable tool for facilitating end-of-life (EoL) discussions, particularly in oncology care where patients face complex treatment decisions. This review investigates the GWCG's intended use, its application in oncology settings, and best practices for introducing it to patients. It also addresses the challenges and barriers to its implementation in clinical practice. A search for scientific evidence revealed a significant gap in the literature: while various sources, including qualitative studies and reviews, were reviewed, only a small portion focused on intervention outcomes. This underscores the need for more comprehensive studies to evaluate the GWCG's effectiveness, especially in EoL care. Despite its potential to foster meaningful conversations and support informed decision-making, successful implementation requires overcoming barriers such as patient resistance and the need for a sensitive, gradual approach to EoL topics. Further research, particularly clinical trials, is essential to confirm its broader applicability and effectiveness.
