[End-of-life and advance healthcare directives]

In the context of the care of people at the end of life, the implementation of measures relating to advance healthcare directives still appears to be problematic. A nursing team in Saône-et-Loire carried out a research project on this issue and highlighted several obstacles: poor knowledge of the law, a lack of information among the general public, the sensitivity of the subject, etc. The project revealed avenues for further reflection now being explored.
