End of life with Parkinson's disease: A qualitative study on preferences for preferred place of care

Description

The aim of this qualitative study is to explore the preferences and attitudes of people with Parkinson's disease (PD) regarding their preferred place of care at the end of life. As end-of-life issues have been under-represented in PD research, it is crucial to gain a deeper insight into the individual preferences and expectations of this patient group. The study will not only contribute to a better understanding of the psychosocial aspects of end-of-life decisions in people with Parkinson's disease, but will also provide relevant insights for the design of patient-centred care and palliative care interventions. By interviewing people themselves, the study will help to better tailor support services to the individual needs of these patients.
