Uvod: Razprava o evtanaziji ne sme biti tabu. Če se pogovarjamo o evtanaziji, to seveda ne pomeni, da jo sprejemamo. Mnogi so mnenja, da ima zdravnik glavno vlogo glede odločanja ob koncu življenja. Vendar pa je tudi vloga medicinske sestre ključna in ravno zaradi tega mora biti ta poklic aktivno vključen v kakršnokoli razpravo o evtanaziji. Zagotavljanje evtanazije vključuje multidisciplinarni zdravstveni tim, v katerem imajo medicinske sestre pogosto stranske vloge. Namen: Namen magistrske naloge je predstaviti oziroma opredeliti pojem evtanazije ter katere vrste le-te poznamo ter z uporabo že izdelane merilne skale za merjenje stališč do evtanazije ugotoviti, kakšen odnos imajo do nje študenti zdravstvene nege 1., 2. in 3. stopnje na zdravstvenih fakultetah v Sloveniji. Metode dela: Magistrska naloga je sestavljena iz teoretičnega in empiričnega dela. Že znana spoznanja avtorjev in stališča tako tuje kot tudi domače literature smo pridobili z metodo kompilacije. S komparativno metodo pa smo na koncu primerjali teoretični del raziskav z rezultati, ki smo jih pridobili s pomočjo anketnega vprašalnika. Sekundarne vire smo pridobili s podatkovnimi bazami, kot so CINAHL, PubMed, COBISS.SI, ScienceDirect in druge. Rezultati: Anketiranih je bilo 74,3 % žensk in 25,7 % moških. Največji delež anketiranih je obiskoval Fakulteto za zdravstvene vede Novo mesto (38,2 %). Večina anketiranih je študirala na prvi stopnji študija (82,4 %). Največji delež anketiranih (45,5 %) je obiskoval 2. letnik študija, najmanj anketiranih je bilo absolventov (11,9 %). Največ anketirancev je bilo starih med 19 in 24 let. Stališče študentov do evtanazije se je statistično značilno razlikovalo glede na starost, delovno dobo in spol. Stališče študentov do evtanazije se ni statistično razlikovalo glede na stopnjo izobrazbe in veroizpoved študentov. Razprava in zaključek: Z anketnim vprašalnikom smo odgovorili na raziskovalno vprašanje. Študenti zdravstvene nege na zdravstvenih fakultetah v Sloveniji so veliko stopnjo strinjanja izrazili, da bi v posebnih okoliščinah zase zahtevali evtanazijo, iz česar lahko razberemo, da so naklonjeni evtanaziji. Koristnost naše raziskave vidimo v tem, da bi z njo spodbudili študente in zaposlene v zdravstvu k razmišljanju in pomembnosti vloge medicinske sestre pri umirajočih pacientih, saj je največkrat prisotna ob zadnjih trenutkih življenja. Prav tako pa moramo velik poudarek dati tudi razvoju paliativne oskrbe v Sloveniji, saj je tudi to dejavnost, ki ji namenimo premalo pozornosti in časa.

• Title: Attitudes of nursing students in Slovenia towards euthanasia : master thesis

Abstract

Introduction: The discussion of euthanasia should not be taboo. Of course, speaking about euthanasia does not mean accepting it. Many believe that the physician plays the primary role in end-of-life decision making. But the role of nurses is also crucial, and for that very reason, this profession must be prepared to participate actively in any discussion about euthanasia. The provision of euthanasia involves a multidisciplinary health care team in which nurses often play a supporting role. Purpose: The purpose of this master's thesis is to introduce or define the concept of euthanasia and the forms we are familiar with, and to determine the attitudes of first, second, and third degree nursing students at faculties of health in Slovenia using a measurement scale that has already been developed to measure attitudes toward euthanasia. Methods: The master's thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical work. We gathered the already known knowledge of the authors and the viewpoints of the foreign and domestic literature using the compilation method. Finally, we used the comparative method to compare the theoretical part of the research with the results obtained through the questionnaire. Secondary sources were obtained from databases such as CINAHL, PubMed, COBBIS.SI, ScienceDirect and others. Results: 74.3% of the respondents were women and 25.7% were men.A large percentage of the respondents attended the Faculty of Health in Novo Mesto (38.2%). Most of the respondents studied at the first level (82.4%). The largest proportion of respondents (45.5%) attended the 2nd year of study. Those who had graduated were much fewer in number (11.9%). The majority of respondents were between 19 and 24 years old. Student attitudes toward euthanasia differed statistically significantly by age, seniority, and gender. Students attitudes toward euthanasia did not differ statistically by education level or religion. Discussion and conclusion: students expressed a high level of agreement that they would request euthanasia for themselves in special circumstances, implying that nursing students at Faculties of Health in Slovenia are in favor of euthanasia. We see the utility of our study in encouraging students and health care workers to reflect on the importance of the nurse's role with dying patients, as she is most often present in the last moments of life. We also need to put great emphasis on the development of palliative care in Slovenia, as we pay too little attention and time to form of health care.
