Soigner ses proches, est-ce bien raisonnable ? Les enjeux relationnels selon les deux protagonistes. (French)

Treating relatives, is it reasonable? Relational issues of these two persons involved. (English)

Résumé: Tout médecin se trouvera un jour sollicité par un proche pour des soins. Malgré les bénéfices ressentis tels que la satisfaction du service rendu ou la praticité, il ressort des difficultés, comme des craintes – d'erreurs, de reproches – ou une confusion des rôles menant à une mauvaise prise en charge. A contrario , les proches sont globalement satisfaits de leur relation, évoquant en premier lieu la confiance qu'ils éprouvent. Cependant ils abordent aussi des retenues, lorsque les pathologies deviennent graves ou lorsque l'intimité crée des tabous. Every general practitioner will be asked by a relative for treatment. Despite the benefits like the satisfaction of the work done or the practicality, there are troubles: fear of reproach, bad care relation because of the role confusion. By contrast, relatives are globally happy with this relation, they underline the confidence in their physician. However, they also have some reservations: in particular when the disease is serious or when it touches the intimate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
