dc.description.abstractThe article presents the results of a qualitative study concerning opinions on euthanasia among women employed in care homes, where elderly residents predominate. The analysis aims to show how professional and personal experiences, as well as exposure to suffering, influence the formation of opinions about euthanasia. The article discusses the results of empirical research based on the theoretical frameworks of the ethics of care (Tronto) as well as emotional labour (Hochschild), also considering the issue of moral injury (Shay). The findings indicate that most respondents support the legalisation of euthanasia, justifying their stance through their knowledge of the dying process and their experience of accompanying others in suffering.en
dc.description.abstractArtykuł przedstawia wyniki badań jakościowych dotyczące opinii na temat eutanazji wśród kobiet zatrudnionych w domach opieki, w których przeważają osoby starsze. Celem analizy jest pokazanie, jak doświadczenia zawodowe i osobiste, a także ekspozycja na cierpienie wpływają na kształtowanie się opinii na temat eutanazji. W artykule omówiono wyniki badań empirycznych opartych na teoretycznych ramach etyki opieki (Tronto) oraz pracy emocjonalnej (Hochschild), a także rozważano kwestię krzywdy moralnej (Shay). Wyniki wskazują, że większość respondentek popiera legalizację eutanazji, uzasadniając swoje stanowisko wiedzą na temat procesu umierania i doświadczeniem towarzyszenia innym w cierpieniu.pl
