Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For many community-dwelling older adults, preferences about the medical policy they would like to receive at the end of life do not change with the onset of illness or physical decline. Among the elderly who do not wish to think about their own end-of-life care, the intentions expressed are likely to change. When checking the intention of receiving medical care at the end-of-life in Japan, it would be good to have an option of "do not wish to think about my own end-of-life" as well. The older they get, the more difficult it becomes to elicit "preferences about the medical policy they would like to receive at the end of life" from the elderly who do not wish to think about their own end-of-life care. A change to "I want to receive as much medical care as possible" was observed among those who had a life event that increased their role or value.
