Abstract

Diagnosis of cognitive disorders is at medical and ethical stake. The aim of an qualitative study based on interviews was to explore the views of general practitioners on this diagnosis. General practitioners are ambivalent about the relevance and temporality of the diagnosis of cognitive disorders, which could be resolved by a shared decision making at each stage of the diagnostic approach.

Keywords: diagnosis; diagnostic; décision médicale partagée; médecin généraliste; personne âgée; trouble cognitif.
