Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The study has been completed with the data collection and analysis for the series of choice experiments. Within end-of-life care services, the identified focus has been on advance care plans (ACP) discussions and written advance directives (AD). The first of the choice experiments has identified the trade-offs in the Japanese public's own treatment preferences when critically ill. Additional studies modelled how different circumstances at the time of illness affect how the public feels about implementing an existing existing ACP/AD and also a study of competence and acceptability of ACP/AD. A parallel study with a sample of doctors and a sample of nurses for these was used to also report on clinician attitudes and experiences.
