| Abstract: | Aims: To assess the incidence of voluntary stopping of eating and drinking in long‐term care and to gain insights into the attitudes of long‐term care nurses about the voluntary stopping of eating and drinking. Design: A cross‐sectional study. Methods: Heads of Swiss nursing homes (535; 34%) answered the Online‐Survey between June and October 2017, which was evaluated using descriptive data analysis. Results: The incidence of patients who died in Swiss nursing homes by voluntarily stopping eating and drinking is 1.7% and 67.5% of participants consider this phenomenon highly relevant in their daily work. Most participants (64.2%) rate voluntary stopping of eating and drinking as a natural death accompanied by health professionals and patients are also granted the right to care (91.9%). This phenomenon is expected by the participants less at a young age and more in old age. Conclusion: Participants' overall views on the voluntary stopping of eating and drinking are very positive, whereas it is assumed that voluntary stopping of eating and drinking is a phenomenon of old age. Professionals still lack sufficient knowledge about this phenomenon, which could be clarified through training. |
