ABSTRACT

This study investigated the ethical attitudes towards Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) among nursing college students. Data were collected from September to November 2022, involving 209 students in Jeonbuk Province. Analysis was done using SPSS WIN 25.0 with descriptive statistics and the χ2-test. Students generally agreed with respecting patient wishes, providing accurate information, and adhering to DNR guidelines. They supported treatment upon guardian request and maintaining aseptic principles for DNR patients. They showed neutral attitudes towards discontinuing mechanical ventilation upon family request, using all means to prolong life for patients with no chance of survival, the primary physician's DNR decision, etc. There was often opposition to the decline in medical team interest after DNR declaration. Significant differences based on DNR education experience were found regarding the use of all treatments for terminally ill patients (p=.028) and the need to advise if a co-worker treats a DNR patient without aseptic procedures (p=.014). Education on DNR situations and procedures is essential for accurate knowledge and high ethical competence.
