Resumo: Objective:To survey amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) health care providers to determine attitudes regarding physician-assisted death (PAD) after the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) invalidated the Criminal Code provisions that prohibit PAD in February 2015.Methods:We conducted a Canada-wide survey of physicians and allied health professionals (AHP) involved in the care of patients with ALS on their opinions regarding (1) the SCC ruling, (2) their willingness to participate in PAD, and (3) the PAD implementation process for patients with ALS.Results:We received 231 responses from ALS health care providers representing all 15 academic ALS centers in Canada, with an overall response rate for invited participants of 74%. The majority of physicians and AHP agreed with the SCC ruling and believed that patients with moderate and severe stage ALS should have access to PAD

spelling Physician-assisted death: A Canada-wide survey of ALS health care providersObjective:To survey amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) health care providers to determine attitudes regarding physician-assisted death (PAD) after the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) invalidated the Criminal Code provisions that prohibit PAD in February 2015.Methods:We conducted a Canada-wide survey of physicians and allied health professionals (AHP) involved in the care of patients with ALS on their opinions regarding (1) the SCC ruling, (2) their willingness to participate in PAD, and (3) the PAD implementation process for patients with ALS.Results:We received 231 responses from ALS health care providers representing all 15 academic ALS centers in Canada, with an overall response rate for invited participants of 74%. The majority of physicians and AHP agreed with the SCC ruling and believed that patients with moderate and severe stage ALS should have access to PADhowever, most physicians would not provide a lethal prescription or injection to an eligible patient. They preferred the patient obtain a second opinion to confirm eligibility, have a psychiatric assessment, and then be referred to a third party to administer PAD. The majority of respondents felt unprepared for the initiation of this program and favored the development of PAD training modules and guidelines.Conclusions:ALS health care providers support the SCC decision and the majority believe PAD should be available to patients with moderate to severe ALS with physical or emotional suffering. However, few clinicians are willing to directly provide PAD and additional training and guidelines are required before implementation in Canada.Univ Toronto, Sunnybrook Hlth Sci Ctr, Toronto, ON M5S 1A1, CanadaUniv Fed Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, BrazilUniv Hlth Network, Crit Care & Palliat Care, Toronto, ON, CanadaUniv Laval, Fac Med, CHU Quebec, Clin Neuromuscular & Neurogenet Dis, Quebec City, PQ G1K 7P4, CanadaUniv Calgary, Hotchkiss Brain Inst, Dept Clin Neurosci, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, CanadaDalhousie Univ, Fac Med, Stan Cassidy Ctr Rehabil, Halifax, NS B3H 3J5, CanadaUniv Western Ontario, Schulich Sch Med & Dent, Dept Clin Neurol Sci, London, ON N6A 3K7, CanadaUniv Estado Rio de Janeiro, Dept Internal Med, Div Rheumatol, Rio De Janeiro, BrazilUniv Fed Sao Paulo, EPM, Sao Paulo, BrazilWeb of ScienceConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPq), Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation of BrazilTemerty family foundationLippincott Williams & Wilkins2019-07-22T15:46:34Z2019-07-22T15:46:34Z2016info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion1152-1160http://dx.doi.org/10.1212/WNL.0000000000002786Neurology.
