| dc.description.abstract | English: The purpose of this study was to investigate medical practitioners from different race groups’ attitudes toward euthanasia. A biographical questionnaire and the Euthanasia Attitude Scale were administered to 217 medical practitioners in and around the cities of the Free State province. Six variables, namely race, gender, age, speciality, number of years in practice and religion were investigated. The data was analysed by means of factorial analysis of variance, one-way analysis of variance and post hoc Scheffé tests. The most important finding of this study was that overall, medical practitioners are in favour of euthanasia. The results showed significant differences (p < .01) according to medical practitioners’ race, speciality and religion. The interaction between speciality and the amount of years in practice was also investigated and significant differences (p < .01) were found. Race, speciality and religion are thus strong determinants of medical practitioners’ attitudes toward euthanasia. | en_ZA |
| dc.description.abstract | Afrikaans: Die doel van die studie was om medici vanuit verskillende rassegroepe se houdings teenoor genadedood te ondersoek. ‘n Biografiese vraelys en die “Euthanasia Attitude Scale” is op 217 medici in en om die groot stede in die Vrystaat-provinsie afgeneem. Ses veranderlikes, naamlik rassegroep, geslag, ouderdom, spesialiteitsrigting, aantal jare in die praktyk en geloof is ondersoek. Die data is met behulp van faktoriale variansie-ontledings, eenrigting variansie-ontledings en Scheffé-toetse vir post hoc-vergelykings, verwerk. Die belangrikste bevinding van die studie was dat medici oor die algemeen ten gunste is van genadedood. Die resultate het getoon dat daar beduidende verskille (p < .01) voorkom ten opsigte van medici se rassegroep, spesialiteitsrigting en geloof. Die interaksie tussen spesialiteitsrigting en aantal jare in die praktyk is ook ondersoek en beduidende verskille (p < .01) is aangetref. Rassegroep, spesialiteitsrigting en geloof is dus sterk determinante van medici se houdings teenoor genadedood. | af |
