ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Opioids efficiently manage pain and dyspnea. However, guidelines on symptom management with opioids differ, which may lead to uncertainty among medical staff concerning opioid indication and ethical implication, especially when caring for COVID-19 patients.

AIMS:

We aimed to examine the perception of morphine/opioid (M/O) administration for symptom control within and outside palliative care, including care for COVID-19 patients, among members of the German associations for palliative medicine, internal medicine, anesthesiology and intensive care.

METHODS:

Participants received an anonymized online questionnaire via Survey Monkey® (Momentive Inc., San Mateo, CA, USA) regarding their general perception of symptom management with M/O. These results have been published elsewhere. For systematic and structural analysis of comments in the free-text field, we chose Phillip Mayring's method of summarizing qualitative content analysis.

RESULTS:

Of the n = 2202 persons who participated, 339 wrote comments in the free-text field which were categorized as follows main categories 1) personal perceptions of COVID-19 patients, 2) administration and effect of M/O, 3) observations within the palliative care field, 4) imparting knowledge concerning M/O usage and palliative care, and 5) others.

CONCLUSIONS:

Some participants reported very personal perceptions and deficits of the healthcare system, especially when caring for COVID-19 patients. Uniform interdisciplinary guidelines for symptom control, more education, and support by trained staff confident in symptom control should be increasingly considered in the future.
