They preferred CPR 78.3%, mechanical ventilation 63.3% and blood transfusion 51.7% for their future special life-sustaining treatments. They did not preferred hemodialysis 8.3%, artificial respiration 6.7%, intensive care unit 6.7%, 8.3 percent of participants said that they well aware of Advance Directives. 86.6% of them hoped to write their Advance Directives. Despite such low awareness of the Advance Directives, the intention to write Advance Directives was high.
