Protecting the Autonomy of Patients with Severe Mental Illness Through Psychiatric Advance Directive Peer-Facilitation by Nicholas Karasik

“…These include a lack of trust, support, and knowledge of PADs, as well as a lack of understanding in completing a PAD.[21] Concerning trust, one study found that 43 percent of patients did not feel they had someone they could trust to help them complete their PAD.[22] Other studies indicated that patients had limited trust in their healthcare professionals.[23] Regarding the lack of support, one survey found that 94 percent of respondents would be unable to complete a PAD without assistance or without a facilitator.[24] Many patients lack knowledge and awareness of PADs, how to complete, and what to include in them.[25] Due to their complex legal nature, over half of the respondents in one survey indicated that they had problems understanding the PAD.[26] Similarly, 79 percent of clients interviewed in one study felt that PADs posed too much of a burden.[27] Through their shared lived experience, peer-support facilitators would be in a greater position to foster trust with patients and create the environment necessary for patients to explore their values and preferences through this process. …”
