The cross-sectional study was administrated between April and September 2006. Participants are doctors, nurses, and midwives. Between these dates we met only 750 health staff (doctor, nurse, and midwife). Six hundred thirty-two of them responded to our questionnaire, 122 of them were in Manisa city, and 510 of them in Erciyes. We sought to identify variables that contribute to euthanasia attitude, including demographics, in order to demonstrate Turkish doctors', nurses', and midwives' attitudes toward euthanasia and to compare their attitudes in this regard. The data was collected by a two-part questionnaire. The first part included questions about the health personnel; the second part comprised the euthanasia (Medical Staffs Attitude toward Euthanasia) scale. The scale was developed by the researcher to measure the attitude of healthy staff euthanasia. The SPSS was used to analyze the data. Student t-test, ANOVA, Mann Whitney U, and Kruskal Wallis were used to evaluate the data. Thep value 0.05 (95% confidence interval) was accepted as significant. In our study, professional groups are compared with all the factors but there is a significant difference only between social cost and professional groups.
这项横断面研究于2006年4月至9月进行。参与者为医生、护士和助产士。在这段时间里，我们仅接触到750名卫生工作人员（医生、护士和助产士）。其中632人回复了我们的问卷，122人来自马尼萨市，510人来自埃尔西耶斯。我们试图确定包括人口统计学在内的、有助于形成安乐死态度的变量，以展现土耳其医生、护士和助产士对安乐死的态度，并比较他们在这方面的态度。数据通过一份分为两部分的问卷收集。第一部分包括有关卫生人员的问题；第二部分包含安乐死（医务人员对安乐死的态度）量表。该量表由研究人员编制，用于衡量卫生工作人员对安乐死的态度。使用SPSS软件对数据进行分析。采用学生t检验、方差分析、曼-惠特尼U检验和克鲁斯卡尔-沃利斯检验来评估数据。p值0.05（95%置信区间）被视为具有统计学意义。在我们的研究中，对专业群体与所有因素进行了比较，但仅社会成本与专业群体之间存在显著差异。
