The effects of Australian nurses' (n=285) awareness of a "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) policy and various practice settings on the DNR decision were examined. A questionnaire, developed by the investigator, was used to gauge nurses' experiences and attitudes in DNR practice. Decision making was not significantly affected by nurses' awareness of a DNR policy in hospitals where a policy was present. Although nurses believed that the patient, next-of-kin, and nurse should play a predominant role in the DNR decision, medical staff were usually responsible for the decision. Various strategies are suggested as to how nurses could make a greater impact on the DNR decision.
研究了澳大利亚护士（n = 285）对“不要复苏”（DNR）政策的认知以及不同实践环境对DNR决策的影响。由研究者编制的一份问卷被用于评估护士在DNR实践中的经历和态度。在存在DNR政策的医院中，护士对该政策的认知对决策制定没有显著影响。尽管护士认为患者、近亲及护士应在DNR决策中发挥主要作用，但通常由医务人员负责做出决策。针对护士如何能在DNR决策中产生更大影响提出了各种策略。
