Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Advance care planning (ACP) enables individuals to define goals and preferences for future medical treatment and care, to discuss these goals and preferences with family and health-care providers, and to record and review these preferences if appropriate. Research has shown that most Western patients express the need about what ACP entails. Ethnicity creates an important cultural impact on how people look at life and death, so that there is an influence on making decisions about end-of-life care.

The moroccan ethnic group is one of the largest visible non-Western minority groups in Western countries. Studies on how ACP is perceived among patients from moroccon origin are lacking. The objective of this study is exploring the knowledge, experiences, point of views, preferences, attitudes, facilitators and barriers concerning advance care planning of older people from moroccan origin in Belgium. Semi-structured interviews (in the native moroccan/arabic language) will be used.
