“Whether to Offer Interventions at the End of Life: What Physicians Consider and How Clinical Ethicists Can Help” is the title of a new paper written by McGovern Center assistant professor Joelle Robertson-Preidler, PhD, with Mikaela Kim, (UTMB Health), Sophia Fantus, PhD (The University of Texas at Arlington), and Janet Malek, PhD (Baylor College of Medicine). In the article published in AJOB Empirical Bioethics, the authors present the findings of qualitative research conducted with physicians about considerations made in decisions about offering patients interventions nearing the end of life. Six types of considerations were identified: baseline patient characteristics, potential to cause harm, potential to achieve a goal or benefit the patient, the patient’s and family’s values and preferences, institutional factors, and other personal or professional factors.
