However, investigations on the awareness of hospice care among community-dwelling elderly participants are limited. This work aimed to reveal the awareness status of hospice care and explore the factors influencing the awareness rate among elderly participants.<jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>A questionnaire survey was conducted among individuals aged 60 years and above.<jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>A total of 4,969 individuals aged 60 years and above were randomly selected from 48 primary medical institutions in Handan. The awareness rate of hospice care in the baseline survey was 19.3% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>= 959). All included individuals were divided into two groups in accordance with their awareness of hospice care. The awareness of hospice care among participants with low educational level, living alone, and afraid of talking about death was low (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>&lt; .05).<jats:bold>Implications for Practice:<\/jats:bold>The level of awareness of hospice care among community-dwelling elderly participants is low. The influencing factors included educational level, living status, and fear of talking about death. The community-dwelling elderly participants\u2019 awareness of hospice care must be improved. It is recommended that public medical education and training should be enhanced to improve knowledge and awareness of hospice care among community-dwelling elderly residents with low educational level, living alone, and afraid of talking about death.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1891\/rtnp-2023-0013","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,17]],"date-time":"2023-08-17T08:15:16Z","timestamp":1692260116000},"page":"386-400","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Awareness of Hospice Care Among Community-Dwelling Elderly Participants"],"prefix":"10.1891","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jun-fang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao-xiao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yi-ping","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shu-rui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Li-yang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hai-ping","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"793","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,8,16]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1001\/jamainternmed.2016.7491","article-title":"Efficacy of oral risperidone, haloperidol, or placebo for symptoms of delirium among patients in palliative care: A randomized clinical trial","volume":"177","year":"2017","journal-title":"JAMA Internal Medicine"},{"issue":"6","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2713","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-019-05091-7","article-title":"Effectiveness of home hospice care: A nationwide prospective observational study","volume":"28","year":"2020","journal-title":"Supportive Care in Cancer"},{"issue":"5","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"530","DOI":"10.1111\/hsc.12039","article-title":"A longitudinal study of end-of-life preferences of terminally-ill people who live alone","volume":"21","year":"2013","journal-title":"Health & Social Care in the Community"},{"issue":"1","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"27","DOI":"10.1177\/1049909114546885","article-title":"Knowledge about hospice: Exploring misconceptions, attitudes, and preferences for care","volume":"33","year":"2016","journal-title":"The American Journal of Hospice & Palliative Care"},{"issue":"8","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2581","DOI":"10.1007\/s00520-018-4089-1","article-title":"Evaluating the impact of spirituality on the quality of life, anxiety, and depression among patients with cancer: An observational transversal study","volume":"26","year":"2018","journal-title":"Supportive Care in Cancer"},{"issue":"17","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8992","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph18178992","article-title":"Inpatient hospice palliative care unit and palliative consultation service enhance comprehensive quality of life outcomes in terminally ill cancer patients: A prospective longitudinal study","volume":"18","year":"2021","journal-title":"International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"},{"issue":"12","key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1389","DOI":"10.1089\/jpm.2017.0014","article-title":"Attitudes of older Chinese patients toward death and dying","volume":"20","year":"2017","journal-title":"Journal of Palliative Medicine"},{"key":"2023082303450935000_37.3.386.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Cheng, Q. , Duan, Y. , Zheng, H. , Xu, X. , Khan, K. , Xie, J. , & Chen, Y .
