Without these directives to guide medical care, quality of end- of-life is diminished. The purpose of this study, conducted by a brief survey distributed via social media, is to investigate the connection between previous death exposure and adult completion of ACP. The results should demonstrate that previous positive death experiences decrease death anxiety, thereby increasing ACP completion and increasing quality of end-of-life. These findings will direct clinicians’ approach to end-of-life conversations by removing some of the barriers to planning for end-of-life."en-USAdvance directives (Medical care)DeathQuality of lifePresentation
