Social Work Practice with Medical Assistance in Dying: A Case Study
1Vancouver General Hospital, Vancouver Coastal Health, 899 West 12th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia V5Z 1M9, Canada.
Abstract:
Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) recently became legal in Canada, and social workers have an integral role providing psychosocial care to those considering this end-of-life care option. Research has found that most requests for assisted dying have a psychosocial dimension. Social workers are uniquely equipped to understand the personal and contextual factors informing the choice for MAiD and offer supports. A case example highlights practice opportunities for social workers throughout the MAiD process.
