The study takes social-ecological theory and the Canadian advance care planning(ACP) national framework as theoretical support sources,aligns the informal ACP clinical practices of patients with chronic diseases and their families with the social ecological environment in China. The researchers determine the modules and core elements of the informal ACP clinical practice theoretical framework at different levels of social ecosystems,based on theoretical analysis methods. This framework is expected to promote the sustainable and systematic implementation of informal ACP in clinical practice in Chinese.
