The limitations of the research should be acknowledged: it included only older people
who could communicate in Thai, had normal perceptions of time, place and person, were able
to hear and understand, and were willing to join the study. Therefore, the study may have
under-represented those with severe mental illness or hearing difficulties, as well as more
severely ill individuals registered with larger district hospitals, as opposed to the community
health promotion hospitals utilised to recruit the sample.. Moreover, face-to-face
interviewing, while probably raising the response rate and allowing validation of answersfrom semi-literate respondents, may have influenced responses by encouraging patients to
answer in expected ways.
