'Unbearable Suffering': a Qualitative Study on the Perspectives of Patients Who Request Assistance in Dying. In a similar vein, a study assessing overt homicidal ideation in a sample of 21 carers of patients with dementia found that only two subjects overtly expressed such ideation, while four expressed a wish for the patient to die with no homicidal intent. These include apathy, depression, agitation, aggression, delusions, hallucinations, sleep disturbances, and behavioural disinhibition (Deardorff and Grossberg, 2019).

Other strategies that have empirical or theoretical support, but have not yet been evaluated in controlled trials, include better physical and mental health services for caregivers (von Knel et al., 2019), and the assessment and provision of social, financial and legal support tailored to individual needs (Zwingmann et al., 2019). Studies of caregivers have also noted that, often, it is not just economics that influences attitudes towards PAS.

A qualitative analysis of blog posts made by dementia caregivers found a similar lack of uniformity while themes related to death (n = 73), deterioration (n = 57), hospice care (n = 57) and decision-making (n = 41) were expressed across several posts, explicit references to euthanasia or PAS were much less common (n = 12); even references to suicidal ideation on the part of the caregiver were relatively more frequent (n = 15) (Anderson et al., 2019). doi:10.3233/JAD-210078, Krag, E.

Uncertainty avoidance refers to the manner in which a society or culture handles ambiguous or unclear situations; a high score on this dimension indicates a low tolerance of uncertainty, and the existence of beliefs or institutions that attempt to avoid ambiguity and provide unequivocal answers or solutions. Given the ambiguity and uncertainty that surrounds an issue such as assisted dying (Pullman, 2004; Niebroj et al., 2013), it is natural that societies scoring high on uncertainty avoidance would attempt to resolve this through uniform disapproval.

There has been an increasing drive towards the legalization of physician-assisted suicide (PAS) in patients with dementia, particularly in patients with advanced disease and severe cognitive impairment. A possible explanation for this finding is that societies in which there is marked polarization about issues such as assisted dying are characterized by lower levels of social capital (Rapp, 2016). 50, 12411256. At what point do you want to prolong life and at what point do you want to preserve resources for other people?
