| Research Abstract |
In order to obtain basic knowledge for developing a psychological support program for cancer patients and their families when the patient chooses treatment in the end-of-life stage, we conducted an awareness survey of ordinary adults and an interview survey of families of cancer patients. The results showed when we apply the conventional decision-making model to the choice of end-of life treatment, it is necessary to pay attention to the following three points: First, the future time perspective of the patient and his or her family affect the framework of the decision; Second, their belief towards life-sustaining treatment encourages intuitive decision-making; Third, the convincing criteria for decision-making are different between the patient and his or her family. In the future, we need to examine the decision-making model for the end of life empirically and continue to improve to make it suit the current conditions.
