NCT ID: NCT05041023 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Tissue and Organ Procurement

Experience of Relatives and Intensive Care Units Caregivers of Controlled Donation After Circulatory Death

CARE-M3
Start date: October 27, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) refers to organ donation (OD) from patients whose death is defined using circulatory criteria and from whom circulatory death occurs after a planned withdrawal of life-sustaining therapies (WLST) in intensive care units (ICUs). During cDCD, the patient is still alive while OD process is being discussed and organized. Caregivers can be particularly uncomfortable in this scenario. In the specific context of cDCD, developing knowledge on the perceptions and experiences of relatives and ICU caregivers regarding OD is crucial but remains poorly investigated. Investigators propose to conduct a prospective multicentric observational research to better understand relatives' and ICU caregivers' experience of cDCD. Better understanding their perceptions and experiences will enable to develop interventions to support and guide them throughout this practice.

The researchers will draw on research in the fields of ethics, law, and medicine to analyze the transcripts. Objective: To describe the practice of assisted suicide in Switzerland and to study how the policy is carried out, how the right-to-die societies work, and the ethical implications of the practice. Eligibility: Swiss experts in the field of assisted suicide Design: The study includes 25 interviews that have already been conducted. The participants were: - academics - doctors and others in medical care - a government official - representatives of right-to-die societies. Researchers will analyze the data using qualitative methods. Two researchers will develop a coding scheme and code the texts and analyze the data.
