  • Are unmet needs driving requests for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)? A qualitative study of Canadian MAiD providers

    Ellen Wiebe, Ellen R Wiebe et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2022Citada por: 1

    In this study, 20 medical assistance in dying (MAiD) providers were interviewed about their experience when assessing patients with unmet needs, including medical, financial or social needs. Collectively they had experience with over 3700 MAiD assessments and found that unmet needs were rare. In the cases where patients had unmet needs, these were usually related to loneliness and poverty. This led to the ethical dilemma of providers deciding to …

    The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of people who transferred locations for MAiD.

In 23 interviews with 18 key informants we found that the …

Although the witnesses felt well prepared for their roles, they encountered challenges including role unce…

    Since medical assistance in dying (MAiD) became legal in Canada in 2016, there have been concerns about vulnerable people feeling pressured to end their lives. It is important to understand what people in marginalized communities know and feel about MAiD in order to help prevent any pressure to hasten death and to prevent any barriers to accessing assisted death. This qualitative study explored the perceptions and experiences of MAiD and other en…

  • Suicide vs medical assistance in dying (MAiD)

    Ellen Wiebe, Ellen R Wiebe et al.ARTICLEDeath Studies2019Citada por: 1

    This is a secondary analysis of three qualitative studies about MAiD in which researchers asked about the differences between suicide and MAiD. In all, researchers interviewed 52 Canadians; 7 were people who had requested MAiD and had been found ineligible, 6 were MAiD providers and 39 were socially and economically marginalized. The overwhelming response was that MAiD is better than suicide in the context of suffering at the end of life. Whereas…
