| Abstract | Uvod: Evtanazija je pojem, o katerem se mora razpravljati z vidika medicinskih, zdravstvenih in družboslovnih strok. Medicinske sestre so sestavni del zdravstvenih timov, zato je potrebno njihovo vključevanje v etične razprave o evtanaziji. Namen pregleda literature je predstaviti vidik evtanazije v povezavi z zdravstveno nego. Metode: Uporabljen je bil pregled literature, izveden v podatkovnih bazah COBIB.SI, CIHAHL in PubMed od 1. 11. 2020 do 1. 12. 2020. Iskanje je potekalo z uporabo ključnih besed: »evtanazija«, »zdravstvena nega«, v angleškem jeziku s kombinacijo ključnih besed: »attitudes«, »euthanasia« in »nursing«. Potek pregleda literature je prikazan z diagramom PRISMA. Kakovost virov, vključenih v končno analizo, je bila ocenjena s pomočjo hierarhije dokazov. Rezultati so bili sintetizirani z uporabo tematske analize.Rezultati: Izmed 138 virov je bilo v končno analizo vključenih enaindvajsetih člankov. Medicinske sestre so navajale naklonjen, kot tudi nenaklonjen odnos ter prisotnost etičnih dilem v povezavi z evtanazijo. Naklonjen odnos medicinskih sester do evtanazije se kaže v primerih neobvladljivih bolečin, neznosnega trpljenja in neozdravljivih bolezni, nenaklonjen pa v povezavi z nekaterimi demografskimi in kulturnimi značilnostmi medicinskih sester, upoštevanjem načel sočutne oskrbe in spoštovanjem vrednosti človekovega življenja. Diskusija in zaključek: Ugotovitve raziskave prispevajo prepoznati odnos medicinskih sester do evtanazije ter nekatere etične dileme v povezavi z evtanazijo. Potrebno bi bilo izvesti podrobne preglede etičnih dilem in moralnih stisk, ki se pojavljajo v povezavi z evtanazijo in zdravstveno nego.Introduction: Euthanasia is a concept that should be discussed from the perspective of medicine, healthcare sciences and social sciences. Nurses form an integral part of healthcare teams, therefore, they should be included in ethical discussions on euthanasia. The aim of the review is to present euthanasia in relation to nursing. Methods: A review of literature in databases COBIB.SI, CIHAHL and PubMed was conducted between November 1, 2020 and December 1, 2020. The search included the following key words: 'euthanasia', 'nursing' in Slovenian, and in English a combination of key words 'attitudes', 'euthanasia', and 'nursing'. The PRISMA flow diagram was used to depict the different phases of the literature review. The quality of sources included in the final analysis was assessed using the hierarchy of evidence. The results were synthesized using thematic analysis. Results: From 138 sources, a total of 21 articles were included in the final analysis. Nurses reported both favorable and unfavorable attitudes towards euthanasia, as well as some ethical dilemmas. A favorable attitude towards euthanasia among nurses was detected in cases of unbearable pain, intense suffering, and terminal illness, while unfavorable attitude was shown in connection to certain demographic and cultural factors of nurses, adherence to compassionate care principles, and respect for the value of human life. Discussion and conclusion: Our findings contribute to understanding nurses' attitudes towards euthanasia and some ethical dilemmas connected to euthanasia. Further comprehensive reviews of ethical dilemmas and moral distress occurring in connection with euthanasia and nursing should be conducted. | |
