Negative perspectives around advance care planning (ACP) prevent people with heart failure (HF) from preparing their end-of-life (EOL) effectively. A Q methodology study was conducted to identify types of ACP perspectives in Koreans with HF. The Q sample (31 statements representing ACP perspectives) was constructed through an extensive literature review and in-depth qualitative interview. The P sample (individuals with HF) completed each grid with a statement on the Q sorting table. The data were analyzed using the PQ program. Individuals with HF have both different and common perspectives on ACP. Three types of perspectives were identified: " positive acceptance ," " contemplative support ," and " hesitancy in acceptance ." Common perspectives across types indicated that people with HF had positive attitudes toward ACP and emphasized their autonomy in EOL decisions. Clinicians need to consider these different and common perspectives on ACP to facilitate patients' engagement and provide relevant support
