Effects of sedative practices on grief in the spouse of a patient who has died of cancer. An international systematic review

The absence of selected articles has revealed various reflections and questions. Is it possible that CDS and its effects on grief are not evaluated because the practice is infrequent? As perceived and symbolically associated with euthanasia, can this lead to moral conflicts where it is illegal, and therefore generate a taboo? Given the results of the following study and the role of the grieving partner, it is essential to conduct further research on this topic and to suggest it.

Abstract

The absence of selected articles has revealed various reflections and questions. Is it possible that CDS and its effects on grief are not evaluated because the practice is infrequent? As perceived and symbolically associated with euthanasia, can this lead to moral conflicts where it is illegal, and therefore generate a taboo? Given the results of the following study and the role of the grieving partner, it is essential to conduct further research on this topic and to suggest it.
