To Explore the Nurses’ Roles in Discouraging Palliative Patients from Euthanasia
Introduction to the Problem
The issue of dying with dignity and the right to die has been debated for decades. The
debate revolves around whether a person should be allowed to choose to die when they can
continue living at a diminished capacity or aid of life support. The debate is centered on the ethical
position of the medical intervention. One of the questions is whether the right to die is universal
and only applicable in palliative care. On an ethical basis, health professionals should adhere to
patient autonomy which questions euthanasia as a care intervention. Nurses in assisted death face
conflicting requirements from autonomy, maleficence, and non-maleficence. However, the concept
of freedom of expression exists where the dying patient has a right to make decisions regarding
their health.
Nurses play a vital role in caring for patients during their end of life compared to other
health care professionals (Dierckx de Castle, 2006). Technological advancement in healthcare has
facilitated quality of life and prolonged life. However, technological advancement has also led to
controversial debates on euthanasia (Berghs et al., 2005). According to Asai et al. (2019), the
attitudes towards the legality and the ethics of euthanasia has drastically changed in the last few
decades. This has led to the legalization of euthanasia in some countries, but the circumstances of
assisted suicide vary from one city to another.
The issue of cancer is a global issue, and it has increased the need for palliative care
services. Nurses provide care geared towards patient satisfaction. In palliative care, the nurses
work towards meeting cancer patients’ needs during the end of life care (Henson et al., 2016).
During the end of life, the patients and the family face challenges and must make choices that
benefit the patient. Wright et al. (2016) explain that choices during the end of life may have a

quality of life dimension where the nurse guides the patient and the carer to adapt to painful
realities and confront difficult situations.

RESEARCH PAPER 2
There is an increase in the debate over the issue of dying with dignity and the right to die.
The issue has been revolving around whether a person should be given a chance to choose to die
when they are still in a position to continue living a reduced ability or aiding the life support. Most
of the debates are focused on the ethical position on some of the medical interventions that are
undertaken. The focus of this research paper is to explore the role played by the nurses in
discouraging palliative patients from euthanasia.
Nurses are playing an important role in providing healthcare to the patient during the end of
their life than any other healthcare professionals. Nurses are not directly involved in the
performance of euthanasia but are directly taking part in the process that starts when the patients
request euthanasia and ends with the provision of support to the patient’s family members and
healthcare providers after the act. In this case, it is always crucial for the nurses to be aware of the
role they play during the euthanasia procedure (Wilson et al., 2021). Nurses are required to be
open-minded and to be non-judgment towards accepting euthanasia requests as their professional
attitude can discourage the patients from euthanasia.
The role of the nurses in discouraging palliative patients from euthanasia begins with the
pre-euthanasia which begins with the assessment. In this stage, nurses are required to carefully
listen to the patients to help in the successful assessment of the reasons for requesting euthanasia
and the factors that are linked to such decisions. According to Wilson et al., (2021), the improper
requests that are originating from the relievable suffering have to be withdrawn and alternative
methods have to be provided to the patient to prevent undignified deaths. According to Martin
(2021), all patients need to be assessed for awareness about their medical diagnosis, their
conditions, and the prognosis, and other available alternatives like palliative care to make sure that

Phase 3: Implementation
The third phase will elaborate the complete implementation plan that how the decided
methodology will be implemented to complete the research study. The topic of study includes nurses’
attitudes towards palliative patient care, and the use of euthanasia will be focused on and aligned with
the methodology. The details about the data collection, data analysis, data interpretation will be the
discussion. The budget planning and the timeline of the study will also be discussed.
Steps
Choosing Participants
The methodology starts with the sampling, and the implementation phase starts from here to
the data analysis. The researcher has studied the different theoretical approaches of sampling relevant
studies, so the participation selection shows the researcher’s knowledge of the subject. The sampling
process should be chosen carefully because failure to choose inappropriate sampling will result in
unexpected results (Asai, 2019).
Different sampling approaches and techniques can be used in the research study, and the
researcher needs to choose one that fits the subject of the study. It may look simple and easy, but the
whole process is highly complex, and the researcher has to study a lot to know what participants will
be suitable for the research. The appropriate decision-making approach needs to be used in this
process.
Before the selection, the exclusion criteria need to be defined, and it is to take the nurses in
the study. The subject is relevant to the nurses, so only they will be part of the study, and it also has
to be seen that only the nurses involved in palliative care will be taken. They will have the experience
of dealing with patients with severe illness and voluntary or involuntary use of euthanasia. Moreover,
the nurses should know the difficulties and challenges of dealing with such patients.
There will be 60 participants in the study, 50 participants will be faculty nurses, and ten will
be in-charge nurses. The nurses will be aged above 25 years of age, and it will be seen that the
