简要总结
Terminally ill patients often suffer existentially. Terminally ill patients with existential pain may request medical aid in dying. The Canadian government legalized Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for patients unforeseeable deaths. This prospective observational study examined chronic pain clinic patients' MAiD requests. The study assessed the patients' life quality and outcomes.
详细描述
Adult patients diagnosed with terminal or severe intractable illnesses frequently endure existential distress. Consequently, patients with terminal illnesses who experience existential distress may contemplate or seek medical assistance in dying (MAiD). In March 2021, the Government of Canada implemented amendments to the Criminal Code to authorize Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) for individuals whose natural death is not reasonably foreseeable.
This prospective observational study evaluated requests made for MAiD by patients in the chronic pain clinic setting. The study assessed the quality of life and natural outcomes of the patients.
