The perspectives on advance care planning of older people with psychotic illnesses and their carers
This study demonstrates that older people with a psychotic illness can express views regarding ACP, despite ongoing symptoms of psychosis, cognitive impairment and mild-moderate severity of illness. The emergent themes highlight opportunities to intervene to overcome barriers to ACP, including education for both participant groups and clinicians, practical considerations and the need for all to collaborate, including with primary care.
