Abstract
|
|
|
|
More than 80% of Japanese still want to face death at home, but only 10% of them can have his/her last moments of life at home. On the other hand, the end-of-life care has been a big issue in both ethical and economic aspect because of euthanasia and healthcare costs. It is generally known that the end-of-life care spends much more than the care for nonterminal years. This study approaches the key for the end-of-life care and suggests a desirable solution.
