Contextualizing attitudes toward medical aid in dying in a national sample of interdisciplinary US hospice clinicians: hospice philosophy of care, patient-centered care, and professional exposure
Findings suggest that contextual factors-namely, the environments in which hospice clinicians practice-may shape attitudes toward MAID. Unanticipated results indicating that hospice professionals' adherence to hospice values was not significantly associated with attitudes toward MAID underscore the need for further research on these complex associations, given previous theoretical and empirical support.
