Advance care planning in discussion : a solution or challenge with pitfalls?

Article indépendant

MUENTE, C. | EGGERS, C.

OBJECTIVES: Care planning should define care at the end of life in advance. At a later stage, when patients are no longer able to do this themselves, it should serve as a guideline for health care. The aim of this article is to give a first insight into the discussions around this social instrument. STUDY DESIGN: The study design was comparing the arguments of proponents and critics. METHODS: This is a critical discourse analysis. RESULTS: A discussion of proponents and critics shows how closely this social instrument is interwoven with the areas of biopolitics, economics and governmentality. CONCLUSIONS: Further research should address the question of what quality assurance can look like.
