AB - This study aims to verify and visualize the conceptual structure, dimension, and importance of death preparation by utilizing concept mapping regarding experiences with and content of death preparation as recognized, by older adults. For this purpose, 12 older adults who were interested in death preparation were selected as study participants. Subsequently, 52 final statements were generated from interviews with research participants. Using multidimensional scale analysis, hierarchical cluster analysis, and the K-means method on the derived statements, confirmed that the concept of death preparation comprises two dimensions and four clusters. The two dimensions were named the “realistic-existential” dimension and “future oriented-present oriented” dimension, while the four clusters were named “Concentration on the rest of life”, “Organizing daily life”, “Wish for the final process” and “Pursuit of meaning and creation”. Participants rated all four clusters as important in death preparation; however, they rated “Organizing daily life” the highest and “Wish for the final process” the lowest. This is the first study to confirm how the concept of death preparation is recognized by older adults from their own perspectives, and contributes to promoting future research related to death preparation in old age.
