Soins palliatifs : ne pas attendre la fin de vie

Abstract

Patients with serious illnesses wish to maintain their autonomy and decide the course of their end of life. The role of healthcare professionals is to assess the patient's understanding of their illness, help them become aware of the progression of their condition, and adapt these conversations according to the patient's emotional state, while providing regular spaces for discussion. Some patients continue to have expectations that may seem unrealistic despite a limited prognosis. The goal is to align treatments with the patient's ' objectives and values, while guiding them toward existential maturation, which represents the necessary process of accepting one's own mortality as a non-traumatic event. This process is built through repeated interactions with the patient, which is why it is crucial to begin these discussions early.

Les patients atteints de maladies graves souhaitent conserver leur autonomie et pouvoir décider du déroulement de leur fin de vie. Le rôle des professionnels consiste à évaluer leur compréhension de leur maladie, les accompagner dans la prise de conscience de l’évolution de leur condition et d’adapter les échanges en fonction de leur état émotionnel. Certains patients continuent d’avoir des attentes pouvant sembler irréalistes malgré un pronostic limité. L’objectif est alors d’aligner les soins aux objectifs et valeurs du patient tout en l’amenant vers une maturation existentielle représentant le cheminement nécessaire à l’acceptation de sa propre finitude comme un événement non traumatique. Ce processus se construit lors d’interactions répétées entre le patient, d’où l’importance de débuter tôt ces discussions.
