Veterinary Medicine Final Year Topic: Owner Decisions about End-of-Life Discussions for Companion Animals

This Veterinary Medicine final year project examines what information needs do participating owners describe when discussing end-of-life options with a veterinarian? The proposed study uses voluntary adult-owner interviews, sensitive-question safeguards and a participant support plan and reports only what the chosen design can support.

Why choose this project topic?

This veterinary ethics and communication topic gives you a defined question about owner decisions about end-of-life discussions for companion animals. You can build the project around voluntary adult-owner interviews, sensitive-question safeguards and a participant support plan, then connect the evidence to a specific descriptive or comparative analysis. The brief supports a practical scope while making approval, access and interpretation limits visible from the start.

What information needs do participating owners describe when discussing end-of-life options with a veterinarian?

Agree the clinic, farm, community or dataset, study period and approved evidence scope with your supervisor.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the eligible records, participants or samples for owner decisions about end-of-life discussions for companion animals.
  2. 02Apply the approved method to document evidence relevant to veterinary ethics and communication.
  3. 03Interpret the evidence using this study question: What information needs do participating owners describe when discussing end-of-life options with a veterinarian?

A suggested research approach

Recruit only through an approved route after ethics review, using an accessible explanation and voluntary consent for voluntary adult-owner interviews, sensitive-question safeguards and a participant support plan. Pilot neutral questions, collect no unnecessary identifiers and protect participants from employer or service-provider pressure. Present accounts respectfully and without evaluating an individual decision or proposing animal intervention. Report the sampling limits and keep individual responses confidential.

What you will need

  • Veterinary supervisor approval and a feasible access route for voluntary adult-owner interviews, sensitive-question safeguards and a participant support plan.
  • Institutional ethics review, owner or worker consent where applicable, and a written data-minimisation plan.
  • A predefined coding or measurement plan that matches the limits of veterinary ethics and communication.

Keep your project scope clear

Voluntary self-reports describe participating respondents and may reflect recall or selection effects; they do not diagnose animals or prove clinical outcomes.
