Abstract:
An important area of health care is advance planning for medical emergencies, which can be regulated individually by precautionary documents. Precautionary documents such as living wills and powers of attorney can be drawn up by all people of full age and are very well known among the population, but are still little represented in the younger age groups (IfD Allensbach 2014). The topic is complex and addresses medical, ethical and legal aspects. There are also misconceptions about precautionary documents. This can contribute to fear of contact and prevent careful individual provision for an emergency. Even in samples where high prevalences of existing precautionary documents are found, uncertainties are cited with regard to their precise preparation and application (Elmeadawy et al. 2017). The internet is an increasingly important source of information for citizens on health issues.
