未来护理需求的规划可能会受到政策和文化的影响。我们比较了对提前规划未来护理需求的有用性、为这些需求做准备的过程（意识到未来护理需求的风险、收集有关可用选项的信息、决定偏好、具体规划）和准备结果（例如，在294东德，288西德和590美国老年人。美国受访者的准备得分更高。与国家差异的大小相比，东德和西德老年人之间的差异一般较小。东德在优惠方面做出的决定较少，参与的具体规划也较少。大多数国家和地区的差异，在准备未来的护理需求减少或消除控制的差异，在规划的感知有用性。
Planning for future care needs is likely to be influenced by both policy and culture. We compared attitudes regarding the usefulness of planning ahead for future care needs, processes of preparation for these needs (becoming aware of the risk of future care needs, gathering information about available options, deciding on preferences, concrete planning), and outcomes of preparation (e.g., knowledge about services) in 294 East German, 288 West German, and 590 American seniors. American respondents had higher preparation scores. Compared to the size of national differences, differences between East and West German seniors were generally smaller. East Germans made fewer decisions on preferences and engaged in less concrete planning. Most of the national and regional differences in preparation for future care needs were reduced or eliminated by controlling for differences in the perceived usefulness of planning.
