We examined social support as a facilitator of advance care planning in unmarried women of different sexual orientations. Survey participants consisted of 215 women, 90 who reported a preference for partnering with women (WPW) and 125 for partnering with men (WPM). Our findings indicate that the association between social support and advance care planning was mixed. Specifically, social support had no significant impact on executing a will for either WPW or WPM. Among WPW, naming a health-care proxy was associated with reporting a partner who provided social support. For WPM, having a partner for social support was not associated with naming a health-care proxy. These insights help in the understanding of women's advance care planning.
我们研究了社会支持作为不同性取向未婚女性预先护理计划促进因素的情况。调查参与者包括215名女性，其中90名表示倾向于与女性为伴（WPW），125名倾向于与男性为伴（WPM）。我们的研究结果表明，社会支持与预先护理计划之间的关联是复杂的。具体而言，社会支持对WPW或WPM制定遗嘱均无显著影响。在WPW中，指定医疗保健代理人与报告有提供社会支持的伴侣有关。对于WPM，有伴侣提供社会支持与指定医疗保健代理人无关。这些见解有助于理解女性的预先护理计划。
