This lack of clarity can hinder the cultural adaptation and evaluation of ACP interventions. This study aimed to develop a programme theory that outlines the causal pathways through which the ACP is hypothesised to achieve impacts in Chinese LTCFs, with a focus on understanding its implementation, processes and outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Exploratory qualitative design incorporating Theory of Change (ToC) methodology. Two ToC workshops (one face\u2010to\u2010face and one online) were held with 37 participants experienced in caring for residents or older people. The process was informed by a realist review and primary qualitative study. A programme theory was developed through thematic analysis, generating a ToC map depicting implementation, processes and outcomes of ACP in LTCFs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The programme theory was constructed to outline the causal pathways of ACP in LTCFs, populating five \u2018precondition\u2019 domains: (1) buy\u2010in from government and facility leadership, (2) availability of external and internal resource, (3) adequate training and awareness for public and facility, (4) identification of residents who are ready for ACP and (5) culturally sensitive communication. Nine intervention components were identified that target preconditions, such as raising ACP awareness and providing staff training and mentoring. The potential impacts of ACP were identified, for example, fostering public attitudes towards a \u2018good death\u2019 and increasing public awareness and acceptance of palliative care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our mid\u2010range programme theory can serve as a heuristic tool, adaptable for context\u2010specific ACP interventions in other countries, enhancing the likelihood of achieving intended impacts. In particular, intervention components focused on family involvement can be transferable to East Asian regions, where relational autonomy and family\u2010centred decision\u2010making are emphasised.
