Nurses often struggle to differentiate end-of-life care from physician-assisted dying. Further research is needed to understand nurses

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Nursing Research
  • End-of-Life Care

Background:

  • Physician-assisted dying encompasses assisted suicide and active euthanasia.
  • Nurses' clinical experiences with assisted dying are underrepresented in literature.
  • Difficulty distinguishing sanctioned end-of-life interventions from non-sanctioned ones is noted among nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the social, legal, and political origins of assisted dying.
  • To critically examine the nursing profession's stance on nurse participation in assisted dying.
  • To review existing research on nurse-assisted dying.

Main Methods:

  • A literature review of bioethics and nursing journals.
  • Searches conducted in the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature and Medline databases.

  • Literature published between 1990 and 1999 was analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses face challenges in differentiating between hastening death and assisting death.
    • The complexities of caring for terminally ill patients contribute to these difficulties.
    • Current research may not adequately capture nurses' experiences due to methodological limitations.

    Conclusions:

    • The moral ambiguity in end-of-life care necessitates further investigation.
    • Additional nursing research is required to address the nuances of assisted dying.
    • Future studies should avoid forced-choice responses to better understand nurses' perspectives.
