这项研究旨在调查医疗保健提供者对COVID-19患者不复苏令(DNR)的态度。这项研究是对沙鲁德COVID-19转诊医院的332名医疗保健提供者(HCP)进行的,伊朗采用方便抽样的方法。研究工具包括人口统计信息表格和DNR态度问卷。所有测试的显著性水平被认为是0.05。对DNR命令的态度的平均得分,DNR的程序,被动安乐死的某些方面,宗教和文化因素分别为25.27±2.78、40.61±5.99、11.26±2.51和6.12±1.27。亲属因COVID-19和女性死亡与对DNR秩序的态度得分高和得分低有关,分别。延长的工作时间和更多的工作经验与DNR程序的高分相关。COVID-19的历史增加了对被动安乐死某些方面的态度的平均得分。此外,COVID-19新闻之后的增加降低了影响DNR顺序的宗教和文化因素的得分。尽管法律禁止在伊朗实施DNR,在COVID-19患者中,伊朗HCPs对此的态度是积极的。
This study aimed to investigate the health care providers\' attitudes toward the Do-Not-Resuscitate order (DNR) in COVID-19 patients. This study was conducted on 332 health care providers (HCPs) at the COVID-19 referral hospital in Shahroud, Iran by convenience sampling method. The study tools included a demographic information form and the DNR attitude questionnaire. Significance level was considered 0.05 for all tests. The mean scores of attitudes toward DNR order, the procedure of DNR, some aspects of passive euthanasia, and religious and cultural factors were 25.27 ± 2.78, 40.61 ± 5.99, 11.26 ± 2.51, and 6.12 ± 1.27, respectively. The death of relatives due to COVID-19 and female gender were associated with high and low scores of attitudes toward DNR order, respectively. Extended working hours and more work experience were correlated with high scores of DNR procedure. The history of COVID-19 increased the mean score of attitudes toward some aspects of passive euthanasia. In addition, an increase in following COVID-19 news decreased the score of religious and cultural factors affecting DNR order. Despite the legal ban on implementation of the DNR in Iran, the attitude of Iranian HCPs toward this was positive in COVID-19 patients.
