A non-medical ally who supports families during the end-of-life process—which can endure for months or even years—is known as an end-of-life doula. Since 2016, Douglas College in British Columbia has provided a training course for potential end-of-life doulas. The face-to-face or online format is adaptable and accessible.

Alleviating this form of pain and suffering has proven to be very challenging using conventional treatments. Psilocybin-assisted therapy (PAT) employs the psychoactive effects of psilocybin as a catalyst for a psychotherapeutic process grounded in indigenous traditions and within the context of a therapeutic mindset and environment (“set and setting”). This carefully curated experience of an altered state of consciousness can promote healing and psychospiritual growth independently of the disease trajectory. Current research supports the use of this form of therapy as a safe and effective therapeutic tool for such patients. This narrative case report, based upon and written from the perspective of the treating physician, describes the therapeutic journey of a patient with the fictitious name Martin, as he receives his diagnosis of a terminal illness, engages in PAT, and on to his deathbed. Martin was the first patient in Quebec to receive psilocybin treatment through Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP) and chose to end his life with medical assistance in dying (MAID), both done in the context of homecare and paid for in its entirety by the public healthcare system of Quebec.","PeriodicalId":379424,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers francophones de soins palliatifs","volume":"59 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139778198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article, based on the clinical ethics method of analysis, aims to analyze the raison d’être of palliative care and hospices as they exist in Quebec, and to put it into perspective with the medical aid in dying recently introduced into these settings. This article identifies the potentially deleterious effects of offering medical aid in dying on the raison d’être of palliative care and, more specifically, of hospices. These effects are temporal (the temporality of the taming of dying), relational (caregiver-patient-family relationships) and community-based (the communities that form with and around patients).","PeriodicalId":379424,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers francophones de soins palliatifs","volume":"657 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139839013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Tendances et enjeux","authors":"Gilles Nadeau","doi":"10.7202/1105748ar","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7202/1105748ar","url":null,"abstract":"La publication des Cahiers francophones de soins palliatifs1 sera dorénavant assurée par l’Institut de soins palliatifs et de fin de vie Michel-SarrazinUniversité Laval. Un comité a été formé pour assurer les modalités de la transition. Au cours d’une réunion, un membre mentionne qu’il serait intéressant et possiblement utile d’identifier en quoi le contenu des Cahiers publiés jusqu’ici pourrait témoigner de l’évolution des soins palliatifs dans nos milieux et nourrir l’écriture de son histoire. Le mot milieu fait principalement ici référence au Québec mais aussi, à l’occasion, au monde francophone. Interpelé par cette préoccupation, je prends la balle au bond. Au départ, j’ai rencontré un premier défi : me limiter au contenu des Cahiers. J’ai donc fait un survol des articles publiés et me suis arrêté à en relire certains qui retenaient particulièrement mon attention en lien avec la question. En cours de route, un second défi s’est présenté : ne pas demeurer prisonnier du mot évolution qui me poussait à quitter l’observation pour entrer dans l’analyse. Tout ce qui, à première vue, semble une évolution peut s’avérer après un certain temps être une sorte de régression. Par contre, une modeste évolution peut devenir une révolution. Il arrive aussi qu’alors que nous nous croyons en pleine évolution nous soyons en circonvolution : dit tout simplement, nous tournons en rond. Mon objectif est de recueillir dans les Cahiers des éléments qui pourront éventuellement contribuer à l’écriture de l’histoire des soins palliatifs. Le thème du premier numéro, Tendances et enjeux, a servi de fil conducteur dans mon exploration. Les soins palliatifs sont constamment en mouvement. Des tendances et des enjeux identifiés à l’époque demeurent et d’autres sont disparus en cours de route. De nouveaux ont pris l’avant-scène. On ne retrouvera donc pas ici une révision systématique des sujets touchant toutes les disciplines. Je relève plutôt ce qui me semble des lieux où on peut déceler des tendances et des enjeux éventuellement révélateurs d’une évolution ou du moins d’un mouvement2. Mes choix sont forcément subjectifs.","PeriodicalId":379424,"journal":{"name":"Cahiers francophones de soins palliatifs","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125023267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
