肿瘤科和老年科医务人员对尊严死的认知及态度调查

Investigation and Analysis of the Recognition and Attitude towards Death with Dignity among Medical Personnel in the Oncology and Geriatrics Department

为了解肿瘤科和老年科医务人员对尊严死的认知程度和态度以及相关影响因素,应用自制问卷,采用整群抽样对成都市15家医院肿瘤科及老年科医务人员进行自填式问卷调查。结果显示:多数医务人员对尊严死不够了解,甚至存在误解,这影响了医务人员对尊严死的态度。了解尊严死的医务人员多对尊严死持支持态度。要推动尊严死在中国的实施,必须完善相关法律法规,同时加强死亡教育和对尊严死相关知识的宣传教育,重视患者的知情权和自主权。

To understand the recognition and attitude towards death with dignity among medical staff in the oncology and geriatrics department, we did a self-administered questionnaire survey to the medical staff in the oncology and geriatrics department of 15 hospitals in Chengdu Sichuan China. The results showed that some participants didn＇t really know about death with dignity, thus affecting their attitudes towards death with dignity. Those who knew about death with dignity tend to have a positive attitude. If we want to propel the practice of death with dignity, establishing related laws is the basis. Besides, we should strengthen death education and publicity of death with dignity, and attach importance to patients liberty and their right to know about their illness.
