Summary:
Background: Globally and nationally, malignant tumors persist as the leading cause of
high incidence and mortality rates. In Taiwan, cancer tops the list of causes of death,
with the elderly being predominantly affected, especially by lung cancer, which is the
most prevalent type with the highest mortality and incidence rates in the nation. The
Patient Autonomy Rights Act, implemented by the government in 2019, is designed to
promote advance medical care consultation in medical institutions, respecting patient's
autonomous decisions. In Chinese culture, medical decisions are typically family-oriented
rather than individualistic, leading the elderly to frequently rely on their
relatives'choices. This cultural practice may prevent meaningful conversations between
potential agents and the elderly, causing misunderstandings of the elderly's preferences
and affecting the consistency of medical decisions. Presently, interventions like board
games for Advance Care Planning (ACP) are not well received, highlighting the need for
more captivating content in intervention strategies.
