Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to explore deeply the representations and emotional impact of MS on caregivers (doctors and nurses) and relatives of cancer patients. It also aims to describe their collaboration modalities, roles and responsibilities during the decision-making process, implementation and "control" of MS. The project is a multi-center psychosocial study (home, hospitals and palliative care unit) that will take the form of a comprehensive qualitative study, both prospective (participant observation) and retrospective (interview), of patients with and without cancer, for which MS has been administered.
