As part of a larger survey, we asked social workers whether they had been involved in medical assistance in dying (MAID) so far. Of the 367 survey participants, 141 reported that they had. These were invited to describe their roles, needs, and sense of competence, focusing on their last MAID experience. Roles were diversified, beginning before and extending beyond the provision of MAID. Nearly 60% needed training on MAID. Perceived competence was lower among those lacking training. Findings point to educational needs that must be addressed to ensure the quality of end-of-life care and the well-being of social workers who engage in MAID.

社会工作者在临终时获得医疗救助的经验：来自加拿大魁北克的调查结果。

作为一项更大规模调查的一部分，我们询问社会工作者到目前为止他们是否参与过临终医疗救助 (MAID)。在 367 名调查参与者中，有 141 人报告说他们有。这些人被邀请描述他们的角色、需求和能力感，重点是他们最近的 MAID 经历。角色是多样化的，在提供 MAID 之前开始并延伸到 MAID 之外。将近 60% 的人需要接受 MAID 方面的培训。缺乏培训的人的感知能力较低。调查结果指出，必须解决教育需求，以确保临终关怀的质量和从事 MAID 的社会工作者的福祉。
