The conceptualization of assisted death as an act performed by physicians has resulted in a lack of attention to nurses' roles and experiences with the processes that surround an assisted death. In this article, we synthesize evidence from 6 articles focusing on the experiences of 55 nurses from Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with relevant ethical and policy implications derived from the literature. Nurses have a central role in negotiating inquiries about assisted death and in providing wraparound care for patients, families, and other health care providers. This role is impactful for nurses and requires significant personal and professional moral work.
将协助死亡概念化为医生实施的行为，导致人们忽视了护士在协助死亡相关过程中的角色和经历。在本文中，我们综合了6篇文章中的证据，这些文章聚焦于来自加拿大、比利时和荷兰的55名护士的经历，并探讨了文献中相关的伦理和政策含义。护士在处理有关协助死亡的询问以及为患者、家属和其他医护人员提供全方位护理方面发挥着核心作用。这一角色对护士影响重大，需要大量的个人和职业道德努力。
