Only 28.7% of physicians and 27.6% of nurses answered that they were engaging their patients/clients in ACP. Multinomial regression analysis revealed that more frequent involvement in caring for dying patients was associated with ACP engagement for both physicians and nurses. Increased years of clinical practice experience and working in a hospital were associated with decreased likelihood of nurses’ ACP engagement. Completion of training designed to promote patient self-determination at the end of life was associated with both physicians’ and nurses’ ACP engagement. It is recommended that health care professionals be encouraged to complete such training to promote patients’ autonomy through ACP.}, title = {Current Engagement in Advance Care Planning in Japan and Its Associated Factors}, volume = {5}, year = {2019}, yomi = {ハマノ, ジュン and タミヤ, ナナコ} }
