We assessed the views of hospital nurses on the autopsy, using a questionnaire which was distributed by hand to all qualified nurses working at Manchester Royal Infirmary during a 48-h period. We found that many respondents (43%) had had occasion to discuss autopsy with relatives, and the majority (90%) would like to learn more about counselling the bereaved. Few (15%) clearly understood the legal distinction between coroners' and hospital autopsies. Almost all (97%) thought the main reason for autopsy was determination of the cause of death, and only 12% supported a role in clinical audit. More respondents saw benefits for doctors rather than for nurses, and only 56% perceived a benefit for relatives. In general, nursing staff have a more positive view of the autopsy than we anticipated, and we would advocate making more information about the benefits of autopsy available to nurses.
我们通过问卷调查评估了医院护士对尸检的看法，该问卷在48小时内亲手分发给了曼彻斯特皇家医院所有符合条件的护士。我们发现，许多受访者（43%）曾有机会与亲属讨论尸检，且大多数人（90%）希望更多地了解如何为逝者家属提供咨询。很少有人（15%）清楚地理解验尸官尸检与医院尸检在法律上的区别。几乎所有人（97%）认为尸检的主要原因是确定死因，只有12%的人支持尸检在临床审计中的作用。更多的受访者认为尸检对医生而非护士有益，只有56%的人认为对亲属有益。总体而言，护理人员对尸检的看法比我们预期的更为积极，我们主张向护士提供更多关于尸检益处的信息。
