Why Mental Health Clinicians are Not Engaging in Advance Care Planning with Older People with Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Illnesses
These clinician-identified attitudes, experiences, and barriers to engagement in ACP with older people with psychotic illnesses highlight avenues of potential intervention to facilitate ACP in this cohort. Given the complexity of issues, clinicians need education and training in ACP combined with clear processes and policies to support practice. Clinician insights should be combined with the perspectives of older consumers with psychotic illnesses and their families to inform implementation of ACP.
