Introduction: One of the most common morally controversial issues in the care of the dead is euthanasia. Examining the attitudes of nursing students is important because of future situations related to euthanasia during their clinical practice. Objective: The objective of this research was to examine the attitudes of nursing students at the Rijeka Faculty of Health Studies on euthanasia Methods: A total of 87 students participated in the research conducted at the Faculty of Health Studies in Rijeka. The research was conducted through an online anonymous questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part of the questionnaire contains general information on gender, age, year and method of study, as well as information on the degree of religiosity. In the second part of the questionnaire, students were offered a self-designed questionnaire about attitudes towards euthanasia through 15 statements. Results: Students evaluated their overall agreement with euthanasia with an average score of 3.69 (±0.41), from which it can be concluded that the attitudes of the entire sample of students towards euthanasia are moderately positive. Female students have statistically significantly more positive attitudes towards euthanasia than male students (t=-2.565, p=-0.012). No statistically significant differences were found in students' attitudes towards euthanasia regarding the year of study (f=0.391, p=0.678). Part-time nursing students have statistically significantly more positive attitudes about euthanasia than regular nursing students (t=-2.529, p=0.013). In the examined sample, no connection was found between the degree of religiosity and attitudes about euthanasia. Conclusion: Examining the attitudes of nursing students about euthanasia is of great importance because nursing students, as future nurses/technicians, will have an important role in providing the necessary care to the patient at the end of life, not only in symptom control and pain management, but also in providing emotional support to the dying. the patient and his family.
