Evidence based Nursing, 26(2), 68. https://doi.org/10.1136/ebnurs-2022-103625.1367-6539http://hdl.handle.net/10400.26/47380The study starts with the discussion about the legalisation of euthanasia in Spain, and aims to analyse the concept of U-Suffering as a foundation for the development of a new nursing diagnosis.1 Suffering is deeply connected with human existence, and its relief is a pivotal outcome for nurses and other healthcare providers.
