Advance care planning among older adults in Belgium with Turkish backgrounds and palliative care needs: A qualitative interview study

Our findings suggest that their lack of engagement in discussing end-of-life medical care planning was linked to their family dynamics and religion. The findings have implications for healthcare providers to ethnic-minority groups.PMID:37870049 | DOI:10.1080/13814788.2023.2271661
