摘要: Little is known about ethnic differences in understanding or using advance directives (ADs). Although health practitioners may presume AD intentions are durable over time, there no supporting evidence. This randomized study intended to (a) examine between hospitalized Hispanic and non-Hispanic patients' preferences, (b) assess stability, (c) discover if the Life Support Preferences Questionnaire (LSPQ) influences preferences. Hispanics non-Hispanics showed difference However, were more likely change The LSPQ itself prompted delivering an educational effect with specific intent. Change seen ADs, even a brief interval, suggests revisiting preferences patients their families after hospitalization.
