“…Some studies have found a direct link between views of euthanasia and spirituality, suggesting that regular religious practice is connected to negative perceptions of euthanasia (Badanta et al, 2022; Malliarou et al, 2022; Sabriseilabi & Williams, 2022). However, for younger professionals, religion and spirituality result in a better adaptive response to personal life events as they are understood as ‘mediators’ (Hardy et al, 2019; Schnitker et al, 2021).…”

Aims and ObjectivesTo learn about the attitudes of nurses working in the Andalusian Public Health System regarding euthanasia and its legalisation.BackgroundEuthanasia often finds itself in the crosshairs of ethical and political debate on an international scale. Currently, the Spanish Organic Law 3/2021 of 24 March, 2021, recognises euthanasia as a fundamental right in Spain. It is of particular interest to know about the views, attitudes and stances that Andalusian nurses have of euthanasia as they are key players within the framework of euthanasia and administration of life‐ending drugs. They play a central role in guiding patients through the euthanasia application process.DesignObservational descriptive study.MethodsA study of Andalusian Public Health System nurses was carried out using non‐probability convenience sampling. 518 nurses with an average age of 44.75 years answered in a questionnaire that was distributed on an online platform. Socio‐demographic and occupational variables were assessed, together with the Death Anxiety Scale and the Euthanasia Attitude Scale. A bivariate analysis and a multivariate linear regression model were performed. The STROBE checklist was used.ResultsThe mean score obtained on the Euthanasia Attitude Scale was 75.95 (SD = 16.53). The mean score obtained on the Death Anxiety Scale was 7.56 (SD = 3.05). The variables age and work experience were negatively correlated with the total scores of the Euthanasia Attitude Scale and the categories ‘Ethical considerations’, ‘Practical considerations’ and ‘Treasuring life’. On the other hand, there was a significant positive correlation between age and work experience and ‘Spiritual beliefs’ category.ConclusionsThe current situation shows a worrying paradox. There is a stark difference between positive professional attitudes towards euthanasia and the desire to participate in its application.Relevance to Clinical PracticeIt is vital that educational and healthcare institutions make the necessary efforts to ensure that nurses develop sound moral judgement, displaying the moral conscience and ethical commitment required of this established profession.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

“…Fourth, the association between religiosity and sexual risk taking may be confounded by factors such as parental discipline and social regulation of sexuality, or moderated by constructs such as self-rejection (e.g. internalized homophobia) and shame over one’s sexuality (Schnitker et al, 2021). Finally, the studies were conducted in diverse cultural settings with different religious affiliations and levels of organized religious activity, possibly representing different psychosocial mechanisms underlying the link between religiosity and sexual risk taking (Nonnemaker et al, 2003; Peltzer et al, 2016; Regnerus, 2003).…”

Findings since 2000 about the association between the frequency of religious service attendance (formal religiosity) and sexual risk taking in adolescents and emerging adults were explored. A systematic literature search (April 2020) focused on articles with data on religiosity and age at sexual debut, number of sexual partners, condom use at most recent sexual intercourse, and consistent condom use. A total of 27 studies with 37,430 participants ( Mage = 18.4, range: 12–25, 43.5% male) were included. In random-effects meta-analysis, the link between formal religiosity and sexual risk taking was significant only for age at sexual debut (r = 0.09, 95% CI = 0.05, 0.13) and the number of sexual partners ( r = −0.14, 95% CI = −0.19, −0.09). Weak associations between the constructs of interest indicate that formal religiosity is not sufficient to protect young people’s sexual health.

“…That is a big question because all religions have their own guidelines for dealing with life's conflicts, one of which is meditation. Most studies also show that religiosity positively influences adolescent development (Schnitker et al, 2021), which is the phase that intersects with emerging adulthood. Self-efficacy should also affect students' mindsets in dealing with stressors.…”

Being a student is one of the phases of one’s development when entering the emerging adulthood phase. In the transition from adolescence to adulthood, people usually begin to experience problems in their lives. Those problems are generally related to the future. This study examines the role of religiosity and self-efficacy on a quarter-life crisis in Muslim college students. A total of 116 students from various universities in Padang participated in this study. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that the hypothesis is accepted. Religiosity and self-efficacy have a significant role in the quarter-life crisis. That means when religiosity and self-efficacy are high, the quarter-life crisis experienced by students decreases. This result has indicated by the calculated F value of 5.019 and a significance level of 0.008 (p<0.05). The contribution of religiosity and self-efficacy to the quarter-life crisis is 8.2%. This study also found that the partial contribution of religiosity did not have a significant role in the quarter-life crisis. On the other hand, the contribution of self-efficacy partially remains significant to the quarter-life crisis.
