"Medicina Paliativa" is the official journal of the Spanish Society of Palliative Care ("Sociedad Española de Cuidados Paliativos"; SECPAL) and it reflects the interests, also on bioethics, of the professionals caring terminal people. We want to know what the bioethical questions they discuss and their approaches are.
From all the published articles in "Medicina Paliativa" from 1994 to 2013 we selected those referred to bioethics topics. We analysed: number of publications, author, subtype of article, year of publication, topic, philosophic approach, and the presence of answers and discussion. Qualitative topics were reviewed and agreed by at least two authors.
There were 60 (9%) publications with bioethics profile from a total of 672 analyzed articles. A majority were signed by only one author. 31 (51%) were published as letter. The most relevant topics were: euthanasia, dignity, proportionality of treatment and care, sedation, principles of bioethics, and information. The orientation of these papers was, in a majority, according to principles of palliative care. Most bioethics topics have been answered and even answered back.
Bioethics is an interesting topic in palliative care. The arguments usually fit the principles of palliative care.
《姑息医学》是西班牙姑息治疗协会（“Sociedad Española de Cuidados Paliativos”；SECPAL）的官方期刊，它反映了照顾临终患者的专业人员在生物伦理学方面的兴趣。我们想了解他们所讨论的生物伦理问题及其处理方式。
从1994年至2013年在《姑息医学》上发表的所有文章中，我们挑选出涉及生物伦理学主题的文章。我们分析了：出版物数量、作者、文章亚型、出版年份、主题、哲学方法以及答案和讨论的情况。定性主题由至少两名作者进行审查并达成一致。
在总共672篇分析文章中，有60篇（9%）具有生物伦理学特征的出版物。大多数仅由一位作者署名。31篇（51%）以信函形式发表。最相关的主题有：安乐死、尊严、治疗与护理的相称性、镇静、生物伦理学原则以及信息。这些论文的取向大多符合姑息治疗原则。大多数生物伦理学主题都得到了回答，甚至还有回应。
生物伦理学是姑息治疗中一个有趣的话题。其论点通常符合姑息治疗原则。
