About this study
Official title: Perspectives of Family Carers of Older People From Turkish and Moroccan Origin in Flanders and Brussels, Belgium, on Advance Care Planning: An Exploratory Interview Study
In this study, we will explore the perspective of family carers of older adults from Turkish and Moroccan origin in Flanders and Brussels, Belgium, concerning advance care planning (ACP), more specifically concerning their knowledge about ACP, their experiences with and their points of view on ACP for their family member and their own preferences regarding how to be involved in the process of ACP for their relatives.
Read the detailed description
Whether or not someone wants to engage in ACP, is often the result of a complex interplay of meanings, events, processes and assumptions constructed by the patient and is best approached by qualitative methods. Semi-structured interviews will be used in order to explore the respondents' knowledge about and experience with ACP, also their views concerning ACP for their relatives and how do they prefer to engage in the process of ACP for their relatives will be explored.
