Abstract:

An advance directive, such as a Living Will or Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care, allows a person to give their instructions about future medical care if he or she is unable to participate in decisions due to serious illness or incapacity. Despite the fact the Patient Self Determination Act requires health care facilities to provide patients with information about advance directives on admission, and the public and health care professionals support the use of advance directives, few people actually complete these documents.

<p> The objective is to identify factors associated with patients' decisions to sign advance directives (ADs). Retrospective database analysis was performed on 9,416 current home health patients and hospice discharges patients from the 2007 National Home and Hospice Care Survey (NHHCS). Documentation of ADs continues to rise in America, specifically in home and hospice settings. Do-not-resuscitate order (DNR) and durable power of attorney were the most common types of ADs. Self-pay patients were the population having the highest rate of having an AD. Older age, race (White), sex (male), mental

Abstract:

The number of individuals aged more than 65 years in the United States and their life expectancy has been increasing in the past decades. In spite of the presence of federal and accreditation policies recommending completion of advance directive documents by patients admitted to health care settings, advance directive completion rates are low in most health care organizations. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of advance directive completion among home health patients. The health belief model provided the theoretical framework that guided this study.

Abstract:

Background: Numerous studies demonstrate benefits of using advance care planning (ACP) in the general practice setting. Despite this, providers do not regularly initiate ACP and only one third of Americans have completed an advance directive (AD). This number is even lower among ethnic and minority groups. Community health center (CHC) providers have the opportunity to improve the quality of end-of-life (EOL) care and reduce healthcare disparities affecting medically underserved populations, yet no research has been conducted to identify CHC providers' practices, knowledge and attitudes toward

Abstract:

This thesis conducts a comparative study of how advance directives for treatment for mental illness are regulated in Australia. It considers whether the legal prerequisites for making a mental health advance directive – capacity and voluntariness – are effective in promoting autonomy in decision-making by people with mental illness. It concludes that they are overly focussed on rationality and external controlling factors, and proposes reform of the current legal framework to also recognise the impact of internal controlling factors (such as delusional false beliefs, serious mood distortions a

There is limited literature regarding ACP with patients living with chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary illnesses, who comprise the majority of the HH population.

Advance Care Planning has been advocated for over 20 years as a way in which individuals who are no longer able to speak for themselves, may still convey their preferences regarding a wide of array of decisions, including medical care. Advance care planning may not be initiated by individuals for many reasons, and even when initiated, may not be specific enough to help guide decision making. Recent advance care planning models have utilized disease specific information to help guide end of life health care decision-making.

Abstract:

The principle of autonomy allows each person control over his or her body, and, consequently, to decide what medical treatment he or she will accept or refuse. However, where the individual does not have the ability, or capacity, to make such a decision, they may be subjected to medical treatment carried out in what a substitute decision-maker perceives to be their "best interests", which may not conform to their previous wishes that were reached autonomously. In order to preserve autonomy in the anticipation of a lack of capacity, individuals can formalise their health care plans in documents

Abstract:

Individuals with mental illness have a legal and ethical right to complete advance treatment planning documents in Canada. Psychiatric advance directives (PADs) are one type of legal document used in parts of the United States that enable individuals to declare their treatment preferences in the event of future mental incapacity. This dissertation consists of seven chapters that critically examine the relationship between PADs and autonomy from the perspective of Canadian mental health law. Chapter 1 argues that the operational elements of autonomy as it relates to PADs need further research.

This is an important topic, as research suggests that advance directives (ADs) are ineffective if patients have not involved surrogate decision-makers, most of whom are family members.
