The dynamic of control: A qualitative analysis of the perspectives of patients and family members with palliative care needs on Emergency Medical Services

Abstract

Understanding the Dynamics of Control in palliative situations is fundamental to the Emergency Medical Services' establishment of a person-centred approach in palliative situations. Practical developments that would allow this approach include alternative care pathways, on-scene information availability, and palliative care education. Including palliative care in Emergency Medical Services education may have benefits beyond improved palliative situation management, as it encourages a cultural shift towards person-centred care.
