Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients or their family members suffering from any of the Serious Illnesses (Cancer, COPD, Heart Failure, End-Stage Renal Disease) are eligible. The criteria for inclusion were outpatients or their family members with a history of any of the above diseases and a history of hospitalization, or currently hospitalized patients or their family members whose condition is currently stable and mentally stable. The rationale for including Serious Illness was that these are progressive diseases and may become similar to the video cases in the future, making them more interesting to evaluate. The rationale for including the patient's family was that in Japan, patients' explanations are often given to their families, and family care is an important medical issue.
