| Description |
The following Doctor of Nursing Practice dissertation hilights the role education has on an individual's likelihood of completing an advance directive in an assisted living setting. |
| Abstract |
While the United States government has made strides in promoting advance care planning since the 1990s, there remains a general lack of paperwork completion overall. The COVID-19 pandemic has emphasized making these life-altering decisions before emergency hospitalization. People who have established their preferences for end-of-life care report a higher quality of life and autonomy with a decreased use of emergency care toward the end of life. |
