Yumi Naito	Principal Supervisor: Anita De Bellis Associate Supervisor: Craig Phillips Joint Associate Supervisor: Oluwatomilayo Omoya	By thesis entitled: Cultural Influences on End-of-life Decision Making in Japan among Doctors, Nurses, and Older Adults: An Ethnographic Study	This research investigated cultural influences on end-of-life decision making in Japan among doctors, nurses, and older adults. It addresses a critical gap in understanding how deeply embedded cultural norms—such as non-disclosure of prognosis, family-centred decisions, and hierarchical communication— impact clinical practice and patient autonomy. In the context of Japan’s rapidly ageing population, now comprising over 30% aged 65 and older, the findings underscore the urgency of culturally sensitive, ethically sound approaches to end-of-life care. The study highlights tensions between patient autonomy and family harmony, revealing evolving attitudes among healthcare professionals and older adults. These insights contribute to global discourse on culturally appropriate care and may inform policy and practice in similarly structured societies.
