Their nursing experience and/or training may lead students preparing for the nursing profession to have less moral distress and more favorable attitudes towards a hastened death compared with those preparing for other fields of study. To ascertain if this was true, 66 undergraduates (54 women, 9 men, 3 not stated) in southeastern USA completed measures of moral distress and attitudes towards hastening death. Unexpectedly, the results from nursing and non-nursing majors were not significantly different. All the present students reported moderate moral distress and strong resistance to any efforts to hasten death but these factors were not significantly correlated. However, in the small sample of nurses in training, the results suggest that hastened death situations may not be a prime reason for moral distress.
他们的护理经验和/或培训可能导致准备从事护理职业的学生比准备从事其他领域研究的学生更少感到道德困境，并对加速死亡持有更有利的态度。为了确定这是否属实，美国东南部的 66 名本科生（54 名女性，9 名男性，3 名未说明）完成了道德困境和对加速死亡的态度的测量。出乎意料的是，护理专业和非护理专业学生的结果没有显著差异。所有目前的学生报告说，他们感到中度的道德困境，并强烈反对任何加速死亡的努力，但这些因素没有显著相关。然而，在接受培训的小样本护士中，结果表明，加速死亡的情况可能不是道德困境的主要原因。
