McDermott E, et al. - Researchers performed a systematic literature review using narrative synthesis to determine the influences of cultural factors on advance care planning (ACP) for patients with progressive, incurable disease and to assess how ACP could be made cross-culturally appropriate. They identified religiosity, trust in the healthcare system, patient and clinician comfort discussing death, and patient attitudes regarding decision-making as the cultural factors affecting ACP acceptability. Findings suggest the value of communication-focused approach in adapting ACP to meet the needs of culturally diverse populations.
