Bakgrunn: Aktiv dødshjelp er ulovlig i Norge, men et flertall av befolkningen støtter legalisering. Legers holdninger til aktiv dødshjelp ble sist undersøkt i 1993. Har legers holdninger endret seg?

Materiale Og Metode: To spørreundersøkelser sendt til Legeforskningsinstituttets legepanel i henholdsvis 2014 og 2016 inneholdt spørsmål om aktiv dødshjelp. Svarene ble analysert med deskriptiv statistikk og logistisk regresjonsanalyse.

Resultater: Svarprosenten var henholdsvis 75,0 (2014) og 73,1 (2016). Majoriteten var motstandere av legalisering av aktiv dødshjelp. I 2016-undersøkelsen sa 9,1 % av respondentene seg «svært enig» og 21,5 % «litt enig» i at legeassistert selvmord bør tillates for personer som har «en dødelig sykdom med kort forventet levetid». Yngre og ikke-religiøse var oftere positive til legalisering. I 2014-undersøkelsen svarte 8,6 % at de ville ha vært villige til å utføre legeassistert selvmord hvis dette ble tillatt.

Fortolkning: Som i 1993 var et flertall av norske leger imot aktiv dødshjelp, men det synes å være flere enn før som støttet legalisering i visse tilfeller. De færreste var selv villige til å utføre aktiv dødshjelp hvis det ble tillatt.

Patellofemoral pain (PFP) significantly affects patients' daily activities and consequently reduces their quality of life. Custom-made foot orthoses (FOs) are a common method of medical treatment that positively influences biomechanical factors such as the kinematics of the lower extremity and reduces pain perception in patients. However, there is a gap in research regarding the influence of different FO treatments on knee pain.

[Prioritization of research questions in health crises-presentation of a concept developed during the COVID-19 pandemic].

Bundesgesundheitsblatt Gesundheitsforschung Gesundheitsschutz

January 2025

Institut für Evidenz in der Medizin, Universitätsklinikum Freiburg, Medizinische Fakultät, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, Freiburg, Deutschland.

In acute crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, scientific questions need to be addressed quickly in order to protect the health of the population and to maintain the function of the healthcare system. The prevailing urgency and the large number of issues to be addressed, combined with the limitation of time, personnel, or monetary resources make prioritization indispensable. In the COVID-19 Evidence Ecosystem (CEOsys) project initiated by the University Medicine Network (NUM), a procedure for the rapid prioritization of questions was used specifically for evidence syntheses and clinical guideline recommendations, which was further developed in the follow-up project PREparedness and Pandemic Response in Germany (PREPARED).
