Negative media portrayal of palliative care : a content analysis of print media prior to the passage of voluntary assisted dying legislation in Victoria

Article

KIS-RIGO, Andrew | COLLINS, Anna | PANOZZO, Stacey | PHILIP, Jennifer

Key misunderstandings of palliative care exist in the community, with media being reported as a key source underpinning knowledge. This retrospective media analysis of consecutive articles sought to examine the portrayal of palliative care in the Australian print media, focussing on the 2 years (2016-2018) coverage preceding the Voluntary Assisted Dying legislation in Victoria, Australia. Summative content analyses revealed coverage of palliative care was frequently (74%) in the context of a discussion of euthanasia. Only small numbers of articles described the activities of palliative care, and even fewer its potential beneficial impact, while a quarter (26%) described palliative care was inadequate to relieve suffering. These findings suggest that current coverage of palliative care in the media may contribute to negative public views and misconceptions. An opportunity exists to enhance media coverage, and in turn, improve the public understanding of care in serious illness.
