在克罗地亚，没有对公众对暂停或撤销延长生命的治疗、安乐死、协助自杀和医生协助自杀的态度进行深入研究。本研究的目的是探讨这些态度和他们的社会人口特征，宗教，政治取向，容忍个人选择，信任医生，健康状况，死亡和照顾重病的经验，对死亡和临终的态度的相关性。 对克罗地亚共和国成年公民的三阶段随机样本进行了横断面研究，按地区，县和这些县内的位置分层（N = 1203）。除描述性统计外，方差分析和卡方检验用于确定差异，因子分析（成分模型，方差最大旋转和GK降维标准），相关分析（双变量相关，Pearson系数）和多元回归分析用于数据分析。38.1%的受访者同意满足经历极端和难以忍受的痛苦的临终者的意愿，停止延长生命的治疗，37.8%的受访者同意尊重这些人的意愿，停止延长生命的治疗。77%的受访者认为，由于担心滥用，扣留和撤回程序应该由法律规定。关于安乐死的实践和管理的意见是分歧的。那些年轻人和中年人，受教育程度较高，生活在大城市，世界观更自由的人对安乐死更开放。协助自杀被认为是不可接受的做法，只有18.6%的受访者同意。然而，40.1%的人认为医生协助自杀应该合法化。51.6%的人会支持临终者关于临终程序的自主决定。研究发现，克罗地亚对暂停或撤销延长生命的治疗、安乐死、协助自杀和医生协助自杀的接受程度很低。此外，它发现有证据表明，年龄，教育水平，政治取向和居住地对人们对安乐死的看法有影响。有必要进一步研究克罗地亚人对不同临终做法的态度。
There has been no in-depth research of public attitudes on withholding or withdrawing life-prolonging treatment, euthanasia, assisted suicide and physician assisted suicide in Croatia. The aim of this study was to examine these attitudes and their correlation with sociodemographic characteristics, religion, political orientation, tolerance of personal choice, trust in physicians, health status, experiences with death and caring for the seriously ill, and attitudes towards death and dying. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a three-stage random sample of adult citizens of the Republic of Croatia, stratified by regions, counties, and locations within those counties (N = 1203). In addition to descriptive statistics, ANOVA and Chi-square tests were used to determine differences, and factor analysis (component model, varimax rotation and GK dimensionality reduction criterion), correlation analysis (Bivariate correlation, Pearson’s coefficient) and multiple regression analysis for data analysis. 38.1% of the respondents agree with granting the wishes of dying people experiencing extreme and unbearable suffering, and withholding life-prolonging treatment, and 37.8% agree with respecting the wishes of such people, and withdrawing life-prolonging treatment. 77% of respondents think that withholding and withdrawing procedures should be regulated by law because of the fear of abuse. Opinions about the practice and regulation of euthanasia are divided. Those who are younger and middle-aged, with higher levels of education, living in big cities, and who have a more liberal worldview are more open to euthanasia. Assisted suicide is not considered to be an acceptable practice, with only 18.6% of respondents agreeing with it. However, 40.1% think that physician assisted suicide should be legalised. 51.6% would support the dying person’s autonomous decisions regarding end-of-life procedures. The study found low levels of acceptance of withholding or withdrawing life-prolonging treatment, euthanasia, assisted suicide and physician assisted suicide in Croatia. In addition, it found evidence that age, level of education, political orientation, and place of residence have an impact on people’s views on euthanasia. There is a need for further research into attitudes on different end-of-life practices in Croatia.
