| Research Abstract |
In Japan, an steady increase of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) procedures for elderly patients from around 2000 has stirred up a criticism that unnecessary PEG has often been performed. In response to the criticism, an ethical dilemma faced by home-visiting nurses was examined in the case of deciding whether or not enteral nutrition by PEG should be introduced to elderly patients living at home who had difficulty with food intake. The survey revealed that home-visiting nurses had serious ethical dilemma in the following three cases: 1) they thought that patients’ right of self-determination was violated, 2) PEG was introduced even if the decision was based on the consent of a patient and the family, and 3) the nurses’ view on PEG was not discussed with a patient and family members.
