ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore factors associated with ambulance use and emergency department (ED) visits among people with dementia in the month before death. A web-based survey of bereaved family caregivers of people with dementia was conducted in March 2020. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted with ambulance use and ED visits in the month before death as dependent variables. Age and gender of people with dementia and their family caregivers, home care use, decision-makers, comorbidities, degree of independence in daily living, and caregivers’ preparedness for death were independent variables. Data were collected from 817 caregivers of people with dementia who had died at hospitals (52.4%), long-term care facilities (25.0%), or own homes (22.4%). Caregivers’ lack of preparedness for death was significantly associated with ambulance use in the month before death. Comorbidites and males with dementia were significantly associated with ED visits in the month before death. Better death preparedness of family caregivers may reduce ambulance use for symptoms that can be more effectively addressed by palliative care than acute care for people with dementia.
