虽然尸体解剖在确认诊断和推进研究方面的作用是有据可查的，但家属对这一程序的了解不足。本研究调查了老年人对尸检的态度。焦点小组访谈进行了三个照顾者支持小组和两个高级中心的成员。占主导地位的主题包括：利益，障碍，宗教观点和程序的关注。结果表明，有必要设计教育干预措施：（a）涉及家庭成员在提前规划;（B）提供咨询的目的，过程和程序的尸检;（c）促进沟通技巧和认识当地的尸检服务和政策的医生。
Although the role of autopsy in confirming diagnoses and advancing research is well documented, family members are inadequately informed about the procedure. The present study examined attitudes about autopsy among older adults. Focus group interviews were conducted with members of three caregiver support groups and two senior centers. Predominant themes included: benefits, barriers, religious views, and concerns about procedures. Results suggest the need to design educational interventions to: (a) involve family members in advance planning; (b) provide counseling regarding the purpose, process, and procedures of autopsy; and (c) facilitate communication skills and awareness of local autopsy services and policies among physicians.
