To determine the predictors of agreement with writing advance directives (ADs) among older Korean adults.
This was a secondary analysis of a study that compared the differences in knowledge, experience, and preference about ADs between community and facility-dwelling older adults. Data were collected through self-reported questionnaires. In this study, after 25 cases were excluded from the original sample (N = 181) for incomplete data, a sample of 156 was analyzed using multiple logistic regression analysis.
Older adults' experiences with having thought about life-sustaining treatments, odds ratio (OR) = 4.02, 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.56, 10.38], agreements with legalization of ADs, OR = 4.68, 95% CI [1.69, 12.96], and wishes to obtain information about medical status, OR = 3.78, 95% CI [1.66, 8.64], were identified as the predictors of agreement with writing ADs.
Discussion channels and educational programs about ADs should be developed for older Korean adults.
确定韩国老年人群中与签署预立医疗指示(ADs)达成一致的预测因素。
这是一项对一项研究的二次分析,该研究比较了社区居住和机构居住的老年人在ADs的知识、经验和偏好方面的差异。数据通过自我报告问卷收集。在本研究中,由于数据不完整,从原始样本(N = 181)中排除25例后,对156例样本进行了多元逻辑回归分析。
老年人对维持生命治疗的思考经历,优势比(OR)= 4.02,95%置信区间(CI)[1.56, 10.38];对ADs合法化的认同,OR = 4.68,95% CI [1.69, 12.96];以及获取医疗状况信息的意愿,OR = 3.78,95% CI [1.66, 8.64],被确定为与签署ADs达成一致的预测因素。
应为韩国老年人开发关于ADs的讨论渠道和教育项目。
