This exploratory study examines the ethical justification that cancer care and dementia care nurses gave for active voluntary euthanasia. A convenient sample of 319 nurses working in seven countries was interviewed using a structured interview guide. The great majority of the nurses could not ethically justify active voluntary euthanasia. Even if the law changed, only 96 of the total sample viewed active voluntary euthanasia as ethical. For those nurses who could ethically justify active voluntary euthanasia, the majority did so because of the patients' suffering.
这项探索性研究考察了癌症护理和痴呆症护理护士对积极自愿安乐死给出的伦理依据。使用结构化访谈指南对来自七个国家的319名护士进行了便利抽样访谈。绝大多数护士无法从伦理上为积极自愿安乐死提供正当理由。即使法律发生变化，在整个样本中也只有96人认为积极自愿安乐死符合伦理。对于那些能够从伦理上为积极自愿安乐死提供正当理由的护士来说，大多数人这样做是因为患者的痛苦。
