Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advance Care Planning (ACP) is important for personalized care in accordance with the person's wishes.
Due to cognitive decline, the person's wishes may be unclear, making it difficult to respect them.
In addition, the person's wishes may conflict with the wishes of family members, or the person's wishes may conflict with the suggestions of healthcare providers.
In such cases, the degree to which the family's wishes are respected and the degree to which the medical provider's suggestions are respected may differ depending on the cultural background of the individual.
Although ACP is the same in both the West and the East in terms of making choices about future medical care, the above points are influenced by cultural differences.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on the medical aspects as well as cultural diversity; we invite original articles, reviews, and other papers to be submitted to this Special Issue in order to obtain new insights into ACP.
Dr. Mitsunori Nishikawa
