The aim of the research was to examine whether the strength of religious faith among health professionals, politicians, journalists and religious leaders in Poland influences their knowledge and attitudes towards the withdrawal of futile care, and euthanasia. The study was carried out using a group of 449 respondents employed in medical professions (nurses, midwives and paramedics), and 142 respondents of non-medical professions (politicians, journalists and clergymen). The method used was a diagnostic survey with an original, anonymous Internet survey, as well as the standardised Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (SCSORF). It has been demonstrated that the greater the influence of religion on a person's life, the lesser their tolerance for the refusal of life-saving/life support procedures.
这项研究的目的是检验波兰的卫生专业人员、政治家、记者和宗教领袖的宗教信仰强度是否会影响他们对无效医疗和安乐死的知识和态度。该研究使用了一组 449 名从事医疗职业（护士、助产士和辅助医务人员）的受访者和 142 名从事非医疗职业（政治家、记者和神职人员）的受访者。所采用的方法是带有原始匿名互联网调查的诊断性调查，以及标准化的圣克拉拉宗教信仰强度问卷（SCSORF）。研究表明，宗教对一个人生活的影响越大，他们对拒绝救生/生命支持程序的容忍度就越低。
