A qualitative study exploring family caregivers' support needs in the context of medical assistance in dying.

Objectives: Family members are often involved in the provision of care to a relative at some point in their life. Their role becomes inherently complex when their care recipient is interested in seeking medical assistance in dying (MAID). As assisted death for "grievous and irremediable conditions" was legalized in Canada in 2016, the perspectives of family caregivers have received little attention.
