Nursing students' attitudes, future role, and knowledge regarding euthanasia due to unbearable mental suffering : a single-site pilot study

Article indépendant

DEMEDTS, Dennis | TRICAS-SAURAS, Sandra | BILSEN, Johan

BACKGROUND: This study examines the attitudes, view of their future role, and knowledge of nursing students regarding euthanasia due to unbearable mental suffering (UMS euthanasia) in Belgium. Nurses have a key role in this situation at many levels. The practice of euthanasia is expanding globally and laws are changing, making more research essential. METHOD: A cross-sectional design and online survey were used. All nursing students at a Belgian university college participated. RESULTS: The majority of nursing students had a high degree of acceptance towards UMS euthanasia and highlighted their important role in the euthanasia decision-making process, but also reported a lack of knowledge and skills. CONCLUSION: Nursing education at all levels needs to recognize this knowledge gap, taking into account the complexity and broader context of end-of-life care.
