Abstract

<p>[ Objective] This study aimed to determine the promoters and inhibitors of death with dignity among older people requiring care, based on the responses of professionals involved in end-of-life care.</p><p>[ Method] Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 professionals, including medical practitioners and visiting nurses.</p><p>[ Results] Four categories of the promoters of death with dignity were extracted: “older people’s declaration of intent and family’s agreement,” “family acceptance and cooperation in end-of-life care,” “professional knowledge and attitude in end-of-life care,” and “cooperation between the older people/family and professionals.” Four categories of inhibitors were extracted: “difficulties in supporting the older people in expressing their wishes,” “difficulties in providing decision-making support to family,” “choice of hoping treatment even in senility,” and “unclear medical care for senility.”</p><p>[ Conclusions] We were able to confirm the perspectives of the older people, their families, and those of professionals as promoting factors for realizing a death with dignity.</p>
