title: [Gathering advance directives in geriatrics].
abstract: Advance directives have existed since 2005 but are still relatively unknown by the public. Many nurses find it difficult to explain and gather advance directives from elderly hospitalised patients. A survey was carried out within the geriatric department of Allauch general hospital to gain a clearer understanding of the difficulties encountered by the teams.
