The aim of this study was to assess attitude towards euthanasia, and the influence of socio-demographic data and death education carried out through the "Rijeka model" of bioethics education for the first-year medical students of the School of Medicine, University of Rijeka, Croatia. The cross-sectional study was conducted in the academic year 20031 2004. 124 (61% female) participants were surveyed by using an anonymous questionnaire before and after training. Catholics (p = 0.003) and students from areas with populations of less than 50,000 inhabitants (p = 0.001) had significantly negative attitude towards euthanasia than others before the course, yet no differences were found following this training. Attitude towards euthanasia was significantly positive after the course (p = 0.005). All items in the questionnaire, except "Croatia should legalise euthanasia", received more positive scores after the course. Death education carried through the "Rijeka model" of bioethics education has changed attitudes of medical students towards a more positive perception of euthanasia.
本研究旨在评估克罗地亚里耶卡大学医学院一年级医学生对安乐死的态度,以及社会人口统计学数据和通过“里耶卡模式”生物伦理教育开展的死亡教育的影响。这项横断面研究于2003 - 2004学年进行。124名参与者(61%为女性)在培训前后通过匿名问卷进行了调查。在课程开始前,天主教徒(p = 0.003)和来自人口少于5万居民地区的学生(p = 0.001)对安乐死的态度明显比其他人更消极,但在此次培训后未发现差异。课程结束后,对安乐死的态度明显呈积极态度(p = 0.005)。问卷中的所有项目,除了“克罗地亚应将安乐死合法化”,在课程结束后都获得了更积极的分数。通过“里耶卡模式”生物伦理教育开展的死亡教育改变了医学生对安乐死的态度,使其形成了更积极的认知。
