To examine the correlates of life-support treatment (LST) preferences from attitudes toward advance directives (ADs), perceived susceptibility, symptom frequency, symptom burden, and global health among low-income community-dwelling cancer management recipients, controlling for age, sex, education, and duration after cancer diagnosis.A cross-sectional, correlational study design was used to assess LST preferences and correlates. Data were collected from low-income cancer survivors during nurses' home visits.Survivors who had mostly solid cancer participated (N = 107, mean age = 67.39 ± 11.57 years, 32.7% males). Hospice care was the most desired (66.4%), while aggressive treatments were less preferred: cardiopulmonary resuscitation (15.9%), ventilation support (15.0%), hemodialysis (18.7%), or chemotherapy (12.1%). Higher symptom frequency was associated with a greater likelihood of preferring all aggressive treatments (odds ratios = 1.44-1.75). In addition, longer cancer duration was associated with a greater likelihood of preferring ventilation support; females had a lesser likelihood of preferring hemodialysis and chemotherapy. Higher education was associated with a lesser likelihood of preferring chemotherapy. More positive attitudes (B = 0.15, p = .001) were associated with a greater likelihood of preferring hospice care, and greater symptom burden of pain (B = -0.03, p = .047) was associated with a lesser likelihood.Results support the feasibility of incorporating ADs into cancer management among community-dwelling cancer survivors, with consideration of AD attitudes and symptom monitoring. An integration of AD discussion into the home visiting service could be a liaison for the quality and continuity of cancer survivorship care that guides and manages patients' survivorship issues.
