Decision making in the end-of-life care of patients who are terminally ill with cancer - a qualitative descriptive study with a phenomenological approach from the experience of healthcare workers

Angela Luna-Meza et al.

Summary: Health professionals in Colombia consider patients' clinical condition, cultural and social context, as well as their own professional skills and expertise when making end-of-life medical decisions for cancer patients. Lack of patient awareness, fear of confrontation with family members and lawsuits, and ambiguity in decision-making processes are common challenges faced by professionals in this context. Promoting open discussions, palliative care education, and development of care plans are necessary steps to improve end-of-life decision making and care for Colombian patients.
