In advanced stages, many receive aggressive treatments that may not align with their preferences. Advance care planning (ACP) may facilitate goal-concordant care and reduce death anxiety.\nObjective: To evaluate the effects of a Nurse-Led Promoting Advance Care Planning (NLP-ACP) program on intention to engage in ACP and death anxiety among patients with COPD.\nMethods: A single-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted among 60 patients with COPD, randomly assigned to an experimental or control group (30 each). The experimental group received a 2-week NLP-ACP intervention plus standard care, whereas the control group received standard care alone. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, post-intervention (week 2), and at follow-up (week 4). Intention to engage in ACP was measured using the Intentions for Advance Care Planning Questionnaire and analyzed using the Mann\u2013Whitney U test and generalized estimating equations. Death anxiety was measured using the Death Anxiety Questionnaire and analyzed using a linear mixed model.\nResults: Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed significantly greater increases in intention to engage in ACP immediately after the intervention and at follow-up (Z = -5.584, p &lt; 0.001, r = 0.72; Z = -6.047, p &lt; 0.001, r = 0.78, respectively). In addition, significant group-by-time differences in ACP intention scores were observed between the experimental and control groups (Wald \u03c7\u00b2 = 201.38, p &lt; 0.001). The experimental group also showed significantly greater reductions in death anxiety, with significant group-by-time interactions immediately postintervention (\u03b2 = 3.47, SE = 0.52, 95% CI [2.43, 4.50], p &lt; 0.001, d = 0.70) and at follow-up (\u03b2 = 6.70, SE = 0.93, 95% CI [4.84, 8.56], p &lt; 0.001, d = 2.00).\nConclusions: The NLP-ACP program shows promise in increasing intention to engage in ACP and reducing death anxiety among patients with COPD, supporting patient-centered decision-making. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously because of the short follow-up period and single-blind design.\nTrial Registry Number: Thai Clinical Trials Registry (TCTR20250416003)<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.33546\/bnj.4720","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]],"date-time":"2026-10-21T05:53:11Z","timestamp":1792561991000},"page":"588-599","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.33546\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Effects of Nurse-Led Promoting Advance Care Planning (NLP-ACP) on intention to engage in advance care planning and death anxiety among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Thailand: A randomized controlled trial"],"prefix":"10.33546","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Leelawadee","family":"Kloyeium","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4000-7699","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaowarat","family":"Matchim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Satreerat","family":"Junkroot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Parinya","family":"Raetong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"19163","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"162720","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ajzen, I.
