Abstract: With few investigations of intra-family end-of-life conflict, this study sought to identify its incidence, cause, and impacts. A questionnaire was completed by 102 hospice/palliative nurses, physicians, and other care providers in Alberta, a Canadian province. Participants reported on how often they had observed intra-family conflict when someone in the family was dying, and the impacts of that conflict. 12 survey participants were then interviewed about the intra-family conflict that they had encountered, with interviews focused on why conflict occurred and what the impacts (if any) were. Nearly 80% of families were thought to experience end-of-life conflict, periodically or continuously, among various family members. The interviews confirmed three reasons for intra-family end-of-life conflict and three conflict outcomes that were revealed in a recent literature review. The findings indicate routine assessments for intra-family end-of-life conflict are advisable. Attention should be paid to preventing or mitigating this conflict for the good of all.
