Outline of Final Research Achievements

End-of-life (EOL) discussions are crucial for providing appropriate care to patients with advanced cancer at the end of their lives. To explore associations between EOL discussions and bereaved families’ depression and complicated grief, as well as the quality of patient death and EOL care, we conducted nationwide questionnaire survey of bereaved family members.80.6% of the respondents reported that they had EOL discussions.bereaved family members who had EOL discussions had a lower frequently of depression and complicated grief. EOL discussions were associated with better quality of death and EOL care.
