Description du projet :
LGBTIQ+ people face unique challenges in healthcare settings, including palliative and end-of-life care. Through a participative and collaborative action research (PAR) approach, this study adresses in the 3 Swiss linguistics regions:
1) Shared and distinct needs in palliative and end-of-life care among LGBTIQ+ subpopulations, considering factors such as sex, gender, sexual orientation, intersex status, country of origin, migratory status, educational attainment, socio-economic status, religion, disability, and health status (Objective 1).
2) How LGBTIQ+ individuals and their chosen families access palliative care and prepare for end-of-life care, including facilitators, barriers, and preferred pathways of care (Objective 2).
3) Healthcare providers' perceptions and understanding of LGBTIQ+ individuals in palliative and end-of-life care, considering factors such as professional role, training, institutional support, ethical and legal considerations, workplace culture, personal beliefs, and cultural humility (Objective 3).
4) How healthcare providers deliver palliative and end-of-life care to LGBTIQ+ individuals, including facilitators and barriers to creating inclusive and sensitive care environments (Objective 4).
The HEIG-VD will be in charge of deploying and coordinating the PAR approach and to support qualitative data collection in objective 1 and 2.
