Abstract:
This paper analyzed the research status of living wills at home and abroad from three aspects: the status of living wills knowledge-attitude-practice, the influencing factors of the living wills development, and the effects of living wills. It also provided some suggestions for promoting the development of living wills in China. In foreign countries, a large number of quantitative and qualitative studies have been carried out in this regard, and the research contents were relatively in-depth. However, China initiated late in this field, and the research contents and methods were relatively simple. Living wills not only protect patients’ decision-making right, but also promote the rational distribution of medical resources, as well as ensure the fairness of health services. For China, with a large population and uneven distribution of health resources, living wills have broad implementation prospects.
