This study identifies factors that affect decisions people make regarding whether or not they want to receive life-sustaining treatment. It is an interpretive-descriptive study based on qualitative data from three focus groups (n=23), representing a diverse population in central Pennsylvania. Study sites included a suburban senior center serving a primarily white, middle class population; an urban senior center serving a frail, underserved, African-American population; and a breast cancer support group. The most important factors affecting whether participants wished to receive life-sustaining medical treatment were: prognosis; expected quality of life; burden to others; burden to oneself in terms of the medical condition and treatment; and effect on mental functioning and independence. Our findings contribute to the knowledge of the complex factors that influence how people make decisions about advance care planning and life-sustaining treatments. This understanding is critical if nurses are to translate the patient’s goals, values, and preferences into an actionable medical plan.
