The role of nurses in euthanasia: A scoping review
This scoping review aimed to clearly define the nursing role and scope of practice within the emotionally and ethically fraught process of euthanasia across the globe by analyzing both international laws and scientific literature. The research highlights an urgent need to establish these roles because, despite nurses frequently assuming significant tasks, existing legislation often fails to provide well-defined guidance for nurses' participation. By identifying 15 roles and 80 tasks, the study categorized the spectrum of nursing involvement from initial patient care to post-procedure notification, ultimately concluding that this lack of legislative clarity often leads nurses to operate outside explicit legal boundaries. Therefore, the authors strongly recommend that policymakers acknowledge the broad responsibilities nurses undertake to ensure proper support, education, and effective inclusion within this complex healthcare service.
