“…From this perspective, caring for people who wish hastened death is less a monoprofessional and more a multiprofessional matter. Terefore, the voices of all professional groups, such as physicians, nurses, social workers, and chaplains, should be heard in making the appropriate decisions [8,9]. However, hastened death is primarily seen as the responsibility of physicians and the role of other professionals is rarely addressed [7,10].…”

Aim. The aim of this review was to support nursing management in creating frameworks for the care of people requesting hastened death, based on the best available evidence on the experiences of nurses. Background. The legalisation of hastened death presents nurses with a complex set of ethical and moral risks. The largely unregulated role of nurses in the politics of hastened death can lead to moral distress and burnout. Evaluation. A systematic database search was conducted in CINAHL, LIVIVO, Medline, OVID, and Web of Science. The meta-aggregative approach was used to synthesise the findings. Quality appraisal was done using criteria of the Joanna Briggs Institute. Key Issues. Sixteen studies from four different countries were included. Interview data were from 200 nurses. Meta-aggregation resulted in ten synthesised findings including the need for guidelines; time resources; a supporting team; and professional, social, and personal skills. Conclusions. A working environment with clear guidelines, sufficient resources, structured professional adjustment programmes, and educational measures is supportive for nurses. Implications for Nursing Management. Nursing management should create a professional strategy, guidelines, promote good team culture, implement education, and training activities.
