Resumo: Death is a biographical, sociocultural and biological process that is lived individually and shared with loved ones. The human being knows that he dies and as a relational and dependent living being, other people participate in his death. We are not isolated beings, but we interact living with others with whom we share feelings and experiences, so our actions are developed in relation to those who accompany us. It is the reason why, in most cases, we banish death alone without the company of our loved ones and why we perceive the death of a friend or relative as our own, causing a certain sense of loss. During the coronavirus pandemic, as a consequence of the high contagion rate and the consequent danger to public health, the authorities have adopted isolation measures also in terminal patients, for which they have been deprived of the right to accompaniment and spiritual or religious support included in legislations on the rights of patients. Solitude has been tried to solve with the use of electronic means, but this practice has not replaced the necessary physical contact in these situations. The adoption of strict measures to prevent the transmission of the disease should not be an impediment to facilitating a compassionate environment during dying process in these patients.

Sabemos que morimos y al ser dependientes y relacionales otras personas participan de nuestra propia muerte. No somos seres aislados, sino que interaccionamos al convivir con los demás con quienes compartimos sentimientos y vivencias, por lo que nuestros actos se desarrollan en relación con quienes nos acompañan. Es la razón por la que, en la mayoría de las ocasiones, desterramos morir en soledad y la muerte de un amigo o de un familiar la percibimos como algo nuestro originando una cierta sensación de pérdida que, a su vez, manifestamos de forma íntima o compartida. Durante la pandemia por coronavirus, como consecuencia de la elevada tasa de contagio y el consiguiente peligro para la salud pública las autoridades sanitarias han adoptado medidas de aislamiento también en pacientes en fase terminal, por lo que se ha llevado a cabo la privación del derecho al acompañamiento y al apoyo espiritual o religioso recogido en numerosas legislaciones sobre derechos de los pacientes. La soledad se ha intentado solventar con el uso de medios electrónicos, pero esta práctica no ha sustituido el contacto físico necesario en estas situaciones. La adopción de medidas estrictas para prevenir la transmisión de la enfermedad no debe ser impedimento para facilitar un entorno compasivo durante el fallecimiento de estos pacientes.A morte é um processo biográfico, sociocultural e biológico vivido individualmente, mas compartilhado com os entes queridos. Sabemos que morremos e, por sermos dependentes e relacionais, outras pessoas participam de nossa própria morte. Não somos seres isolados, mas interagimos convivendo com outras pessoas com quem compartilhamos sentimentos e experiências, por isso as nossas ações se desenvolvem em relação a quem nos acompanha. É por isso que, na maioria das vezes, evitamos morrer sozinhos, sem a companhia de nossos entes queridos, e percebemos a morte de um amigo ou familiar como nossa, causando um certo sentimento de perda que, por sua vez, manifestamos de forma íntima ou compartilhada. Durante a pandemia do coronavírus, em decorrência do alto índice de contágio e consequente perigo para a saúde pública, as autoridades sanitárias adotaram medidas de isolamento também em pacientes em fase terminal, razão pela qual foram privados do direito de acesso, acompanhamento e espiritual ou apoio religioso incluído em várias legislações sobre os direitos dos pacientes. Tem-se tentado fazer face à solidão com o uso de meios eletrônicos, mas essa prática não substitui o contato físico necessário nessas situações. A adoção de medidas estritas para prevenir a transmissão da doença não deve ser um impedimento para facilitar um ambiente compassivo durante a morte desses pacientes.Fundação Oswaldo Cruz Brasília2021-06-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.cadernos.prodisa.fiocruz.br/index.php/cadernos/article/view/77010.17566/ciads.v10i2.770Iberoamerican Journal of Health Law; Vol. 10 No. 2 (2021): (APR./JUN. 2021); 267-276Cuadernos Iberoamericanos de Derecho Sanitario; Vol. 10 Núm. 2 (2021): (APR./JUN. 2021); 267-276Cadernos Ibero-Americanos de Direito Sanitário; v. 10 n. 2 (2021): (ABR./JUN. 2021); 267-2762358-18242317-839610.17566/ciads.v10i2reponame:Cadernos Ibero-Americanos de Direito Sanitário (Online)instname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZspahttps://www.cadernos.prodisa.fiocruz.br/index.php/cadernos/article/view/770/819Copyright (c) 2021 Eduardo Osuna (Autor)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessOsuna, EduardoOsuna, EduardoOsuna, Eduardo2021-06-24T12:42:49Zoai:ojs.cadernos.prodisa.fiocruz.br:article/770Revistahttp://www.cadernos.prodisa.fiocruz.brPUBhttp://www.cadernos.prodisa.fiocruz.br/index.php/cadernos/oaicadernos.direitosanitario@fiocruz.br2358-18242317-8396opendoar:2021-06-24T12:42:49Cadernos Ibero-Americanos de Direito Sanitário (Online) - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false
