dc.description<p>Nursing Education Research Conference Theme: Research as a Catalyst for Transformative Practice</p>en
dc.description.abstract<p>Session presented on Saturday, April 9, 2016, and Friday, April 8, 2016:</p> <p>End-of-life decision planning is difficult, and a process which the need for is often unrecognized or neglected. Ninety percent of people think it&rsquo;s important to talk about end of life care (IHI, 2014). Although 60% of people would like to have their end of life wishes honored, the reality is that only 23%-30% of persons have completed advanced directives, and often no conversation was ever initiated with their families (Morhaim &amp; Pollack, 2014; Rao, Anderson, Lin, &amp; Laux, 2014; The Conversation Project, 2013).&nbsp; Rao (2014) reported a significant disparity on completion of advanced directives among Black and Hispanic participants with only approximately 17% completing them compared to their white counterparts.&nbsp; According to Morhaim (2014), the most common reason given for not having completed advanced directives was a lack of awareness. Persons identified healthcare providers as the preferred way to get information regarding end of life care (Morhaim et al., 2014; Rao et al., 2014).&nbsp; End-of-life conversations and advanced care planning are important processes that support personhood and may diminish the need for unwanted costly care. Nurses are often in a position to educate and advocate for persons and their families regarding advanced directives and therefore need to play an integral role in end of life decision making processes.</p>en
