This study aimed to measure the level of involvement of Canadians in preparing for incapacity and death and to explore facilitators and barriers.
The authors used an online survey based on the social cognitive theory and the Stages of Change model.
One-hundred and forty-eight participants took part. The main facilitators were avoiding burdening others and reducing conflicts. Some respondents thought legal planning did not apply to young and healthy people. Some did not trust lawyers.
The authors suggest that more people would trust lawyers if they knew the limits of legal documents and if they worked with medical experts.
本研究旨在衡量加拿大人为丧失能力和死亡做准备的参与程度,并探讨促进因素和障碍。
作者采用了基于社会认知理论和改变阶段模型的在线调查。
共有 148 名参与者参加。主要促进因素是避免给他人带来负担和减少冲突。一些受访者认为法律规划不适用于年轻和健康的人。一些人不信任律师。
作者建议,如果律师了解法律文件的限制,并与医学专家合作,更多的人会信任他们。
