Research Abstract

The current study aims to clarify the opinions of Japanese citizens and health care providers regarding the care of patients without decision making capacity who receive home health care. We sent standardized questionnaires to a sample of citizens and health care providers. In most items compared, the attitudes of citizens and health care providers differed to a statistically significant degree. This shows that, in order to provide optimal care, health care providers need to adequately confirm the desires of those they serve. Further research needs to clarify why their opinions differ.
