Dr.Chochinov conducts a study of the effects cancer has on patients’ feelings about death. Dr. Chochinov mentions the emotional distress associated with the severity of the medical outcome. Dr. Chochinov asserts depression and anxiety as causing a correlation with the will to live in terminally-ill cancer patients.

Jacobs presents the feelings adolescent cancer patients have towards death. The journal article begins with an explanation of how 20% of young cancer patients die due to their illness, and it leads to a deeper understanding of their feelings towards life.

Dr. Mosack’s research in this journal article talks about the current era with HIV/AIDS. The Article begins by explaining the history of HIV in United States of America to the present situations patients face. Additionally, the article also explains how significant End of Life Care is to the improvement to patient care. The subjects of the research were interviewed HIV patients. When asked about death, dying, and end of life care, many patients express fears and worries that trouble them due to their probable fate while their physicians are polar opposites expressing hope in their patients.
Many of the common worries of patients are that they do not want to remain alive through tubing or respirators as they do not see those methods as a pleasant way to be alive. Many of the patients do not wish for their lives to become burdens on their families, which establishes the relevance of End of Life Care Planning based on the research. For my research, it is important to understand the worries that the terminally-ill patients undergo and their decisions about the quality of life they wish to live. It is important to understand that the patients tend to have more anxieties
