Article Synopsis
- The study aims to understand the decision-making processes of older adults regarding their preferred places of death, looking specifically at those who are not in the end-of-life stage.
- Conducted through in-depth interviews in Tama City, Japan, with 20 participants and their families, the research explores the factors influencing their choices for end-of-life care.
- Findings reveal three main categories that affect these decisions: concerns that discourage selecting a preferred place, a desire to die at home, and a preference for dying in a hospital or care facility, highlighting the importance of personal experiences and caregiver considerations.
