Exploring attitudes toward physician-assisted death in patients with life-limiting illnesses with varying experiences of palliative care: A pilot study
BMC Palliative Care Apr 11, 2018
Hizo-Abes P, et al. - Authors carried out an exploration of the terminally ill patients’ general and personal attitudes toward physician-assisted death in 3 groups of patients with life-limiting diagnoses: 1 with new referrals to palliative care; 1 with no palliative care involvement and 1 with prior and ongoing management by a palliative care team. Such patients were in general agreement that physician-assisted death ought to be available to patients with life-limiting illnesses. The yielded descriptive data exhibited a trend for higher hypothetical consideration of physician-assisted death in those patients with prior and ongoing palliative care involvement compared to those without palliative involvement. Data displayed fairly consistent responses in all groups over the 2-week period.
