Threats to the Dignity of People with Advanced Illness Who Are Treated in Emergency Departments: A Qualitative Study
We conclude that the structural, organizational, and care characteristics of emergency departments may pose a threat to the dignity of people with advanced illnesses who attend the emergency department. Family members, professionals, and other patients can both guarantee and threaten the dignity of people with advanced illnesses when they are treated in emergency departments.
