Overall status:

Intervention:
Intervention type:
Other
Intervention name:
free interview, and questionnaires in a second time
Description:
After inclusion in the study, patients will be met for a free interview. The interview
will be conducted using an open-ended interview method with the patients to allow free
expression of their life history, using open and broad questions to avoid the influence
of the interviewer as much as possible.
Each interview will be conducted by the same person to allow for better interpersonal
reproducibility.
After the interview, the patients will be seen again to complete two questionnaires:
- An attachment questionnaire: Relationship Scales Questionnaire
- A questionnaire on symptoms: Distress thermometer
Summary:
This study wishes to focus on the life course of patients, beyond the moments of
suffering experienced at the time of the request for euthanasia. It is based on the
perspective that the patient's account of his or her life course can be a source of
information for better understanding and accompanying patients requesting euthanasia.
