Popis: | The UK is a multifaith culture and 77% of the population considered themselves to belong to a religious group in the 2001 UK Census [1]. Differing faiths have differing customs and views surrounding end-of-life decisions and care. Treatment withdrawal and withholding of life-sustaining care or CPR have been shown to be significantly influenced by both patient and physician religion [2]. We wanted to determine whether the population faith mix was reflected amongst UK intensive care physicians. |
