Description
Tong and Cao (2024) surveyed adults in China about their willingness to use palliative care, and what shapes that willingness at three levels: personal, family, and cultural. Despite recent growth of palliative care in China, little was known about how the public views it. Among 2,645 adults, about 78 percent agreed they would use palliative care if terminally ill.
At the personal level, people willing to pay out of pocket, and people who believed palliative care improves the end of life, were readier to use it. Family support also raised willingness. The strongest drag was cultural: people who felt palliative care conflicts with filial piety, the duty to care for parents, were far less willing to use it. Married people were more willing than single people. The authors draw lessons for education, policy, and practice, arguing that willingness is shaped well beyond the individual.
