Resumen
BASCUNAN RODRIGUEZ, María Luz y HUEPE ORTEGA, Gabriela Verónica. Notions and positions about euthanasia of doctors and nurses of a public hospital in Santiago de Chile. Rev. colomb. bioét. [online]. 2022, vol.17, n.2, e04. Epub 16-Ene-2023. ISSN 1900-6896. https://doi.org/10.18270/rcb.v17i2.3516.
Purpose/Background.
To explore the notion of euthanasia and the positions and beliefs of doctors and nurses considering that a discussion about euthanasia requires knowing the notions of those who care for patients at the end of life.
Methodology/Approach.
Within a qualitative design, interviews were conducted with 11 professionals from a Chilean hospital. A content analysis was made and was triangulate by researchers.
Results/Findings.
Etymological, ethical-legal and operational notions of euthanasia are distinguished. Core aspects of euthanasia -non-curative disease, suffering, voluntariness and the medical context-raise questions that must be addressed.
Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions.
It is necessary to install the topic in the health teams and generate socio-normative ethical-legal agreements that remove the weight of the decisions in the individuals or professional teams.
Palabras clave : Euthanasia; death; personal autonomy; beneficence; culture.
