Objectives: To better understand the characteristics of whom engages in advance care planning (ACP) and their decisions and concerns on ACP. Methods: Using secondary data analysis to examine the data of 1,007 participants who engaged in ACP in the Taipei City Hospital from January 2019 to July 10, 2019. Results: Among the participants, 65.04% of them were women, 54.52% were over 60 years old, and 93.45 were of general identity. The consultation motives of more than 60% of the participants were the expectation of a good death with dignity and life prearrangement. A total of 85% of the participant chose not to receive life-sustaining treatment and did not wish to receive artificial nutrition and hydration. For preference of location for the end-of-life care and death, more than 30% of participants chose to be cared and die in the hospital; more than 40% of the participants had not make a decision yet or preferred to let their relatives or health care agent (HCA) decides. Conclusions: We have identified the issues encountered in the implementation of ACP, such as the characteristics of the declarants, impact of family relationships on ACP, limitation of HCA appointments, factors influencing the choice of the location of end-of-life care and death, timing to initiate the discussion of ACP, and strategies to promote for participating in ACP. We also provide recommendations for future practice.
