The purpose of the present study was to study the attitudes among Danish health care professionals likely to encounter ethical controversies of ART and related subjects.
Anonymous questionnaire study design. A total number of 993 were asked to participate from May-July 1994.
There was a tendency towards a more liberal attitude among gynecologists than among nurses. There was a majority for legal abortion (before 12 weeks of gestation), for selective reduction in multiple pregnancies, and for donor anonymity. There was a majority against sex selection, artificial reproduction as to single women and lesbians, and against adoption by homosexuals. The multivariate analysis showed a strong correlation between attitude and background variables, especially as to religion and profession.
Religion and profession are determinants for the attitude towards several of the ethical controversies of ART and related subjects asked for in this study. We found a discrepancy between recommendations by the Ethical Council of Denmark and the attitudes among health care professionals.
本研究的目的是调查丹麦医疗保健专业人员对于辅助生殖技术(ART)及相关主题可能遇到的伦理争议的态度。
采用匿名问卷调查研究设计。1994年5月至7月期间,共有993人被邀请参与。
与护士相比,妇科医生的态度倾向于更为开放。对于合法堕胎(妊娠12周前)、多胎妊娠的选择性减胎以及供体匿名,多数人持支持态度。对于性别选择、单身女性和女同性恋者的人工生殖以及同性恋者收养,多数人持反对态度。多变量分析表明,态度与背景变量之间存在强烈关联,尤其是在宗教和职业方面。
宗教和职业是本研究中所涉及的辅助生殖技术及相关主题的若干伦理争议态度的决定因素。我们发现丹麦伦理委员会的建议与医疗保健专业人员的态度之间存在差异。
