Aim: There is growing recognition of the need to hold advance care planning discussions. Older adults who have direct interpersonal involvement with dying family members might begin to consider their own end‐of‐life care. This study examined the associations between experiences of being with a dying family member and advance care planning discussions among Japanese older adults. Methods: This study examined data from a previous self‐administered questionnaire survey carried out among outpatients aged ≥65 years.
