S’engager auprès des patients qui veulent mourir : interprétation, présence et contrainte
Abstract
Les soins de fin de vie changent au Canada. À la lumière des récentes modifications législatives sur l’aide à mourir (euthanasie et suicide assisté), il y a lieu d’examiner le point de vue des infirmières sur les soins à donner aux patients qui veulent mourir. Cette étude descriptive et qualitative rapporte les résultats d’entrevues réalisées auprès de 11 infirmières en oncologie sur leur engagement auprès de patients qui veulent mourir. Les résultats offrent d’importants éléments sur la façon dont les infirmières en oncologie interprètent le désir de mort des patients et sur la présence thérapeutique qu’elles exercent auprès d’eux. De plus, ces résultats témoignent des forces contextuelles qui entravent l’engagement thérapeutique. Les entrevues ont été réalisées avant que les lois changent au Canada, mais offrent des perspectives pertinentes et plus que jamais applicables, car le nombre de patients qui songent et demandent à être assistés dans la mort ira en s’accroissant dans le nouveau paysage des soins prodigués à ce chapitre au pays.
