| Abstrakt: | This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Euthanasia Attitude Scale (EAS) in Greek medical doctors. A cross-sectional study design was conducted, including 120 physicians at clinical setting in 2019 (men 64.5%). A self-report questionnaire, including socio-demographic data and the Euthanasia Attitude Scale, which assesses attitudes towards euthanasia, were used for data collection. The mean (standard deviation) of the EAS were 74.62 (14.33). The Cronbach's alpha was 0.944 and the confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the validity of the EAS scale, after modification effects, revealed an acceptable adjustment for the questionnaire. The GFI index was above 0.8 and close to 0.9, and the CFI index was above 0.9, which is the acceptable limit. The RMSEA index was acceptable below 0.08. The total Gr-EAS correlated with all five factors (Pearson r = 0.400–0.973, p < 0.001). According to the findings of this study, the Euthanasia Attitude Scale is a reliable and valid measure for assessing the attitudes toward euthanasia in Greek physicians. This Greek adaptation will be valuable in future studies examining the attitude of physicians towards euthanasia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
