“…Although for NLWs in one sample there was a relationship between religiosity and agreement with physician-assisted suicide (PAS), there was no such relationship for MAs (Espino et al, 2010). Several authors emphasized in their discussion sections clinicians’ understanding the importance of religious beliefs when talking with families about palliative care (Gelfand et al, 2001), ACP (Finley et al, 2013), and EOL (Perkins et al, 2012b). Only Perkins et al (2012b) pointed out religious variation in their sample: 50% participants were Protestant.…”

“…Men were more likely to agree with ventilator use compared with women (Finley et al, 2012). The same research team also reported more women disagreed with percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement in a hypothesized terminal condition compared with men (Finley et al, 2013). However, men were more likely to agree with PAS , compared with women (Espino et al, 2010).…”

“…It is important to note that the samples in Blackhall et al (1995), Blackhall et al (1999), Blackhall et al (2001), and Murphy et al (1996) were similarly described by the authors and may have been the same participants. Likewise, Perkins et al (2002), Perkins et al (2004), Perkins et al (2009), Perkins et al (2012a), and Perkins et al (2012b) appeared to have involved the same sample as well as Finley et al (2012) and Finley et al (2013). Consequently, of the 22 articles, it appeared there might only have been 15 unique samples.…”

“…Spiritual/religious dimension. Authors noted the importance of religious beliefs among MAs and the ways religious beliefs related to agreement with LST (Blackhall et al, 1999;Finley et al, 2013), coping with LLI (Nedjat-Haiem et al, 2012), and concepts of how and when death should occur (Ko et al, 2013;Perkins et al, 2009Perkins et al, , 2012aPerkins et al, , 2012b. Gelfand et al (2001) and Taxis et al (2008) noted the important role of prayers and religious observances, although the findings of these authors conflicted about the role of priests around the time of death.…”

Knowledge Gaps About End-of-Life Decision Making Among Mexican American Older Adults and Their Family Caregivers: An Integrative Review

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Health professionals have a responsibility to assist older Latinos with life-limiting illnesses (LLI) and their family caregivers to make end-of-life (EOL) care decisions that are acceptable and satisfactory. Evidence shows Latinos are "low-users" of hospice services (National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, 2018) and when they use hospice, they are less satisfied than non-Latino Whites (NLW; Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, 2016). To investigate how much is actually known about the factors that influence the acceptability of EOL care decisions among Latinos, a review was conducted focused on studies about EOL care decisions, with data reported in the "voices" of those making EOL decisions, that is, sampling their primary data. This article presents an analysis of extant research literature on EOL decision making among Latinos of Mexican descent or Mexican Americans (MAs). This review focused on MAs because they are the largest and fastest growing Latino subgroup in the United States

Gender Differences in End-of-Life Care in Older Mexican American Adults

et al. 2020

Mexican Americans (MAs), 1 of 10 subgroups of Latinos, are the largest and fastest growing Latino subgroup in the United States; yet, their access to end-of-life (EOL) care using hospice services is low. An investigation was needed into extant research-based knowledge about factors influencing EOL care decisions among MAs to guide health-care professionals in assisting MAs to make timely, acceptable, and satisfactory EOL care decisions. To determine whether gender was an influence on EOL decision-making among older MAs, CINAHL and PubMed were searched for articles published between 1994 and 2018. Relevant sources were also identified through the reference lists of review articles. Reports were included if they were written in English, involved participants aged 50 years and older who identified themselves as MA, and data derived directly from participants. Reports in which MAs were not equally represented in the sample, large databases, and instrumentation development and testing articles were excluded. Of the 345 unduplicated articles identified in our electronic search and the 47 identified through review articles, 22 met the inclusion criteria. Content analysis was conducted using a priori codes from the Ethno-Cultural Gerontological Nursing Model (ECGNM). Only 8 (36%) of the 22 articles reported on MA older adults’ gendered experiences related to EOL decision-making. Results indicate an association between gender and EOL decision-making. As the older MA population grows, tackling disparities in EOL services use requires attention to how culture and gender influence EOL decision-making and care.

Cultural Considerations in Tube Feeding Decision-Making

Tube feeding is a common intervention considered in the care of older adults. The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the current literature on the relationship between cultural factors and tube feeding in older adults, to help prepare speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to consider these cultural factors in communicating with their patients and families who may be faced with a tube feeding decision. Although evidence indicates that this intervention lacks benefit in advanced dementia, the decision to provide tube feeding can be complicated and challenging. SLPs are often consulted to provide assistance in the evaluation of an older adult with eating and feeding problems, and have an important role in tube feeding decision-making. SLPs and the healthcare teams they work with need to be aware of regional, national, international, ethnic, cultural, and institutional differences in tube feeding decision-making and utilization. SLPs and their healthcare teams need culturally sensitive communication and assessment skills to gently elicit and address cultural influences in this decision.
