Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Palliative Care
  • Health Services Research

Context:

  • The study focuses on the experiences of euthanasia referents within the Catalan Health Institute (ICS).
  • Assistance in dying (PAM) provision involves complex ethical and practical considerations for healthcare professionals.

Purpose:

  • To identify strengths and challenges in the provision of assistance in dying (PAM) from the perspective of ICS euthanasia referents.
  • To gather insights for improving the support systems and processes surrounding PAM.

Summary:

  • A mixed-methods study involving questionnaires and interviews with ICS euthanasia referents revealed key themes: dedication, training, difficulties, emotional impact, end-of-life considerations, and advice.
  • Identified areas for improvement include workload compensation, enhanced training, legal clarity on conscientious objection, and procedural reviews within the LORE framework.

Impact:

  • Findings can inform guidelines for institutional leaders and health managers to optimize PAM provision.
  • The referent role is deemed useful, with patient autonomy positively influencing professional emotions and promoting reflection on medical purpose.
