Nurses' involvement in end-of-life decisions in neonatal intensive care units.

Background: End-of-life decision-making for terminally ill neonates raises important legal and ethical issues. In Greece, no recent data on nurses' attitudes and involvement in end-of-life decisions are available.

Research Question/aim: To investigate neonatal nurses' attitudes and involvement in end-of-life decisions and the relation to their socio-demographic and work-related background data.

Physicians' attitudes in relation to end-of-life decisions in Neonatal Intensive Care Units: a national multicenter survey.

Background: End-of-life decisions for neonates with adverse prognosis are controversial and raise ethical and legal issues. In Greece, data on physicians' profiles, motivation, values and attitudes underlying such decisions and the correlation with their background are scarce. The aim was to investigate neonatologists' attitudes in Neonatal Intensive Care Units and correlate them with self-reported practices of end-of-life decisions and with their background data.
