A family affair : repeated interviews with people with dementia and a euthanasia wish and their families

Article indépendant

SCHEERES-FEITSMA, Trijntje M. | SCHAAFSMA, Petruschka | VAN DER STEEN, Jenny T.

This study examines the reasons of people with dementia request euthanasia and how these reasons change over time with a special focus on reasons related to family. In addition, it examines how family relates to their loved one's euthanasia wish. Seven people with dementia and a euthanasia wish in the Netherlands were interviewed, and three years later, two of them and five family members were interviewed again. Four themes were identified using thematic analyses: (1) Protecting the relationship from the impact of dementia; (2) Private domain as the primary setting to discuss euthanasia; (3) Implicit expectation to respect and agree with the euthanasia wish; (4) Experienced responsibilities of family regarding the euthanasia wish. Professionals should be aware of the position of family and the interrelatedness of the person's concern for family happiness and families' moral commitment to agree and support the wish.
