What role do nurses play in euthanasia? How do they experience this role and what should be their ideal role? These are the questions of a study undertaken to gain insight into the role of nurses in euthanasia. Answers to these questions were derived from 20 semistructured in-depth interviews with nurses employed in a Dutch hospital. To make clear the role of nurses in euthanasia, the issue was split up into four phases: observation of a request for euthanasia; decision making; carrying out of the request; and aftercare. This article is a brief report on the most important results regarding these four phases. Special attention will be paid to nurses who have conscientious objections. To evaluate the study results, an unambiguous interpretation of the concept of 'euthanasia' is of most importance. For that reason, Dutch laws and other regulations concerning euthanasia will be explained.
护士在安乐死中扮演着怎样的角色？他们如何体验这一角色，以及他们理想的角色应该是什么？这些是一项旨在深入了解护士在安乐死中角色的研究提出的问题。这些问题的答案来自对一家荷兰医院雇佣的护士进行的20次半结构化深度访谈。为了厘清护士在安乐死中的角色，该问题被分为四个阶段：对安乐死请求的观察；决策；执行请求；以及后续护理。本文是关于这四个阶段最重要结果的简要报告。将特别关注那些出于良心拒行的护士。为了评估研究结果，对“安乐死”概念进行明确的解释至关重要。因此，将对荷兰有关安乐死的法律和其他规定进行解释。
