Abstrakt		By means of a case vignette with three levels of available information (no info, no CPR, advance directive) about an incompetent moderately demented elderly patient with an acute lifethreatening but potentially reversible illness, Swedish and German nurses were investigated concerning their treatment decisionmaking and its underlying factors. Generally, the Swedish nurses, compared with their German counterparts would choose less aggressive treatment options and would less frequently perform cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. (CPR) against the patients written will. The compliance with the treatment preferences of the patient was among nurses from both countries related with their evaluation of the patient directive as a useful tool for their decision-making process. As a predictor of the treatment decision the "level of dementia" of fhe patient appeared. Our results highlight the necessity to integrate issues such as death and dying and ethical aspects of end-of-life treatment, pros and cons of patient directives in the curriculum and training of nurses.
