Consistency in Advance Care Planning Awareness, Attitudes, and Engagement Among Older Adults With Chronic Diseases and Their Families in China: A Mixed Methods Study

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to investigate the consistency of awareness, attitudes, and engagement in advance care planning (ACP) among older adults with chronic diseases and their families in China, along with the factors influencing these aspects. The study found low consistency in ACP awareness and engagement, despite generally positive attitudes towards it, highlighting the need for culturally sensitive, family-centered interventions to improve ACP practices.
