Advance care planning in New Zealand : a qualitative study of the motivators and barriers to uptake

Article

BROWN, Wendy | BAKEN, Donald | STEPHENS, Christine

OBJECTIVE: As a follow-up to the first national survey of advance care planning uptake in New Zealand, which demonstrated a low level of plan completion, this study seeks to better understand the motivators and barriers associated with uptake. METHOD: Using a qualitative approach and a purposeful sampling method, nine interviewees participated in semi-structured interviews exploring in further depth their knowledge, attitudes and activities in relation to planning for end-of-life care. Thematic analysis was applied to the transcripts and several key themes identified. RESULTS: The five key themes were Knowledge of Advance Care Planning; Incomplete Planning; Relational Autonomy; Focus on Family; and Still Time to Plan. CONCLUSION: A stepped process to encourage planning uptake is suggested, with legal and financial steps preceding the making of more personal values-based decisions salient to a serious diagnosis.
