Aim: To elucidate influence of a do-not-attempt-resuscitation (DNAR) order on nurses' perceptions of the medical procedures and nursing practices for non-cancer older patients.
Design: A vignette-based questionnaire study.
Methods: A questionnaire survey asking nurses their perceptions of clinical practices for the following three vignettes was performed in a community hospital in Japan (120): the control vignettes with an older patient with repeated heart failure who was living alone and the other two with either an absence of relatives or a diagnosis of dementia. We also prepared additions to each vignette describing a DNAR order.
Results: Nurses' perception on cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation, blood tests and intravenous nutrition showed statistically significant and minimally important declines after the DNAR order compared with before for all three vignettes ( < .001). DNAR orders can influence nurses' perceptions of clinical practices for non-cancer older patients with chronic heart failure.
