Attitudes of medical doctors, nurses and paramedics towards death
The problem described is part of a broad discussion on attitudes to death and provides an opportunity for reflection on this phenomenon, especially in the perspective of modern medical technologies, which in many situations limit interactions with patients. Our findings suggest that professional role significantly shapes these attitudes, with paramedics exhibiting the strongest spiritual and escape-oriented acceptance, while physicians demonstrate the most detached perspective.
