Nursing Students' Attitudes, Future Role, and Knowledge Regarding Euthanasia Due to Unbearable Mental Suffering: A
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.
