Adressing myths about end-of-life care : research into the use of acute care hospitals over the last five years of life = Croyances au sujet des soins en fin de vie : recherche dans les hôpitaux de soins aigus au cours des cinq dernières années de vie

Article indépendant

WILSON, Donna M. | TRUMAN, Corinne D.

Les personnes en fin de vie sont souvent considérées comme recevant un maximum de soins durant cette période terminale. A partir d'une enquête réalisée sur des patients hospitalisés en fin de vie, cette étude reprend différents paramètres pour infirmer ou confirmer cette croyance. Elle décrit les causes de survenue en milieu hospitalier et le suivi de ces patients sur cinq ans jusqu'à leur décès. Les résultats statistiques effectués donnent des renseignements sur les patients, leurs causes et conditions d'hospitalisation, le type de soins reçus et une évaluation du coût hospitalier.
