The value of home-based advance care planning in addressing existential concerns among older Norwegian patients with cancer and their relatives: A narrative ethnographic study
Home-based ACP can be a valuable approach for addressing the existential concerns of older patients and their relatives in the final stages of life. Home-based ACP conversations start a process that continues within the family context and affects their relational dynamics and communication patterns. This study indicates that the home environment fosters discussions about past, present, and future lives, shaping the content and outcomes of home-based ACP.
