| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We explored the pediatricians’ practice and attitude on the end-of-life discussion with pediatric cancer patients. As a result, while pediatricians nearly reached consensus on the end-of-life discussion for the high school children, the discussion with the younger children remained a controversial subject.
In addition, we conducted an interview survey to the adolescents and young adult patients about having such discussion. As a result, the patients who wanted to discuss said that "the information about terminal condition is necessary for treatment selection" and "I want to think about how to use the remaining time". On the other hand, the patients who didn’t want to discuss said that "the information about terminal condition will make me hopeless ", and "I can understand my condition without being told".
