The aim of this study was to determine nurses’ opinions on Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) orders. This is a descriptive study. A total of 1250 nurses participated in this study. The mean age of participants was 34.5 ± 7.7 years; 92.6% were women; 56.4% had bachelor’s degrees, and 28.8% were intensive care, oncology, or palliative care nurses. Most participants (94.3%) agreed that healthcare professionals involved in DNR decision-making processes should have ethical competence, while they were mostly undecided (43%) about the statement whether or not DNR should be legal. More than half the participants (60.2%) disagreed with the idea that DNR implementation causes an ethical dilemma. Participants’ opinions on DNR decisions significantly differed according to the number of years of employment and unit of duty. The results showed that most of the nurses had positive attitudes towards DNR orders despite it being illegal. Future studies are needed to better understand family members’ and decision makers’ perceptions of DNR orders for patients.

本研究的目的是确定护士对不复苏 (DNR) 命令的意见。这是一项描述性研究。共有1250名护士参加了这项研究。参与者的平均年龄为 34.5 ± 7.7 岁；92.6% 是女性；56.4% 拥有学士学位，28.8% 是重症监护、肿瘤科或姑息治疗护士。大多数参与者 (94.3%) 同意参与 DNR 决策过程的医疗保健专业人员应具备道德能力，而他们大多未决定 (43%) 关于 DNR 是否应该合法的声明。超过一半的参与者（60.2%）不同意实施 DNR 会导致道德困境的观点。参与者对 DNR 决定的看法因工作年限和职责单位而异。结果表明，尽管 DNR 命令是非法的，但大多数护士对 DNR 命令持积极态度。未来的研究需要更好地了解家庭成员和决策者对患者 DNR 命令的看法。
