Physician-written "do not resuscitate" DNR orders elicit negative reactions from stakeholders that may decrease appropriate end-of-life care. The semantic significance of the phrase has led to a proposed replacement of DNR with "allow natural death" (AND). Prior to this investigation, no scientific papers address the impact of such a change. Our results support this proposition due to increased likelihood of endorsement with the term AND.
医生书写的“不要复苏”(DNR)医嘱会引发利益相关者的负面反应,这可能会减少适当的临终护理。该短语的语义意义导致有人提议用“允许自然死亡”(AND)取代DNR。在本次调查之前,没有科学论文探讨这种变化的影响。我们的结果支持这一主张,因为使用AND一词获得认可的可能性增加了。
