Euthanasia, whether active or passive, remains a controversial issue in health care, and allied health professionals are likely to encounter situations of potential active or passive euthanasia during their careers. This survey of allied health students sought to determine their attitudes toward euthanasia and whether their self-reported euthanasia ideology corresponded with their behavioral endorsement of euthanasia actions. Disciplines and educational levels were also compared to determine differences between the program groups and their pro- or anti-euthanasia beliefs. Differing attitudes about euthanasia were found from group to group, and a significant correlation was found between the euthanasia ideology scores and the euthanasia behavioral scores.
安乐死，无论主动还是被动，在医疗保健领域仍然是一个有争议的问题，而专职医疗专业人员在其职业生涯中可能会遇到潜在的主动或被动安乐死情况。这项对专职医疗专业学生的调查旨在确定他们对安乐死的态度，以及他们自我报告的安乐死观念是否与他们对安乐死行为的实际支持相符。同时还比较了不同学科和教育水平，以确定不同课程组之间在支持或反对安乐死信念方面的差异。研究发现，不同组对安乐死的态度各不相同，并且安乐死观念得分与安乐死行为得分之间存在显著相关性。
