Preferences for Feeding Tube Use and Their Determinants Among Cognitively Intact Nursing Home Residents in Wuhan, China: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Journal of Transcultural Nursing : Official Journal of the Transcultural Nursing Society 2019 Februrary 28
INTRODUCTION: Standard advance care planning practice is yet to be established in Mainland, China, and little is known about feeding tube preferences among Chinese nursing home residents. The purpose of the study was to examine preferences for feeding tube use and its predictors among frail and cognitively competent nursing home residents in Wuhan, China.
METHOD: A cross-sectional sample of 682 nursing home residents were interviewed face-to-face using a structured questionnaire from 2012 to 2014.
RESULTS: A total of 54.5% of participants would accept feeding tube. Participants who reported greater quality of life (odds ratio [OR] = 2.67), having health insurance (OR = 2.09) were more willing to accept feeding tube. Participants with greater impairment in physical health (OR = 0.94) were less willing to accept it.
DISCUSSION: Health care professionals need to routinely assess nursing home residents' feeding tube preferences. It is imperative to consider sociocultural perspectives in understanding Chinese older adults' decision making for end-of-life care.
