Official title
Identification of Obstacles and Levers to the Outpatient Care of Patients in Terminal Palliative Situations: Exploratory Study Among General Practitioners in Bas-Rhin
Overview
80% of patients wish to die at home. The number of deaths will increase in the coming years due to the aging population. The general practitioner (GP) is at the center of this care. Despite national plans for the development of palliative care, dying at home remains complicated. The difficulties described and known are organizational (workload) and linked to the doctor's experience with the suffering of the patient and their family. Many studies have been conducted in hospital settings, and the solutions developed are often not very accessible to GP. Conducting a study on this subject will allow us to take stock of this outpatient care provided by general practitioners following numerous changes that have occurred in recent years, both in terms of palliative care teaching and in terms of modifications to the care offered.
