Obedience

According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force?

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Ethics
  • End-of-Life Care
  • Medical Ethics

Background:

  • Nurses play a crucial role in palliative care and frequently encounter end-of-life decisions.
  • Understanding nurses' perspectives on euthanasia is vital for ethical practice and patient care.
  • Limited research exists on the attitudes of Muslim nurses towards euthanasia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the attitudes of Iranian Muslim nurses regarding euthanasia.
  • To identify specific domains influencing nurses' views on euthanasia.

Main Methods:

  • An exploratory cross-sectional study was conducted with registered nurses in two Iranian teaching hospitals.
  • The Euthanasia Attitude Scale (EAS) was administered to 190 participating nurses.
  • Demographic data, including gender, were collected.

Main Results:

  • A majority of nurses (57.4%) reported negative attitudes towards euthanasia.
  • A significant portion (39.5%) expressed positive attitudes, while 3.2% held neutral views.
  • Nurses showed the most negative attitudes towards 'practical consideration' and the most positive attitudes towards 'treasuring life' domains.

Conclusions:

  • The study indicates a predominantly negative stance among Iranian Muslim nurses concerning euthanasia.
  • Cultural and religious factors likely influence these attitudes.
  • Further cross-cultural studies are recommended to elucidate the impact of religion and culture on attitudes toward euthanasia.
