Purpose of the Study:

  • To ascertain the opinions of appointed representatives regarding the use of Statements of Advance Directives (SAD).

Main Methods:

  • A telephone survey was conducted.
  • Participants included representatives of 146 deceased individuals who had registered an SAD since February 2012.

Main Results:

  • Over two-thirds (98) of representatives confirmed the SAD was consulted.
  • A majority (86, 58.9%) reported their opinion as representatives was considered.
  • Most (120, 82.1%) believed the patient's will was respected, with 69.9% (102) feeling the patient had a good death.

Conclusions:

  • Statements of Advance Directives (SAD) were largely respected and consulted.
  • Respect for SAD may correlate with representatives' perception of a comfortable death.
  • Further studies on healthcare professionals' perspectives on Advance Directives are recommended.
