This study aims to explore the perspectives of patients with early cognitive impairment(ECI) regarding ACP,
and in particular, understand their reasons for resistance. It was found that a large proportion of patients with ECI decline ACP discussions and the reasons
are influenced by personal values, coping behaviours and socio-cultural norms.
These findings have important implications for practice.
