- Description:
- The overall objective of this study was to determine if there is a relationship between a patient's educational level and the completion of advance directives. To obtain this objective, the following areas were addressed by the researcher: (a) issues related to the education of patients (b) issues related to the completion of advance directives. The population consisted of 50 patients, male and female, ages ranging from twenty-five years to seventy-six plus years admitted to an acute care setting. Findings of the study indicate there is no significant relationship between a patient's educational level and the completion of advance directives.
