Advantages, barriers, and cues to advance care planning engagement in elderly patients with cancer and family members in Southern Thailand: a qualitative study
ACP engagement could be hindered or promoted by perceptions of older patients and/ or their family members, as well as the communication skills of the care providers. Care professionals who aim to initiate ACP should minimize the potential barriers, make the ACP benefits salient, and watch for cues indicating a propitious time to start the ACP conversation.
