点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

For increasing numbers of Australians, end of life is marked by progressive illness and reliance on hospital treatment rather than supportive and palliative care. This project will explore community attitudes to and preferences for care at the end of life, including the place of treatment, the type of interventions given, the place of death and the burden on family. This project will help improve services and policy to provide better quality of life for patients and their families.
