在他们的研究中，学者们记录了临终关怀偏好上的种族和民族差异，这些差异已经转化为文化障碍。然而，很少有研究解释种族差异。在本研究中，利用焦点小组进行半结构化后续访谈，以得出对黑人和白人社区居住居民样本决策差异的解释。参与者确定了特定的文化信仰、价值观和沟通模式，可用于提高提供临终护理的从业人员的文化能力。
In their research, scholars have documented racial and ethnic differences in end-of-life care preferences, which have translated into cultural barriers. However, few studies have explained the racial differences. In the present study, focus groups with semi-structured follow-up interviews were utilized to elicit explanations for variance in decision making in a sample of Black and White community-dwelling residents. Participants identified specific cultural beliefs, values, and communication patterns that can be used to promote cultural competency among practitioners who provide care at end of life.
