“I decide myself” - a qualitative exploration of end of life decision making processes of patients and caregivers through Advance Care Planning by Lall, Priya, Dutta, Oindrila, Tan, Woan Shin, Patinadan, Paul Victor, Kang, Natalie Q. Y., Low, Chan Kee, Car, Josip, Ho, Andy Hau Yan

“…Results: Participants’ narratives focused on four major themes with 12 subthemes: a) Engagement with Death, factors influencing respondents’ acceptance of ACP; b) Formation of Preferences, the set of concerns influencing respondents’ choice of care; c) Choice of PDM, considerations shaping respondents’ choice of nominated health spokesperson; and d) Legacy Solidification, how ACP is used to ensure the welfare of the family after the patient passes. These findings led to our development of the directive decision-making process framework, which delineates personal and sociocultural factors influencing participants’ decision-making processes. …”
