Ninety-fourphysicians completed a questionnaire consisting of demographic data anda case vignette. In addition to the main research question, the study exploredthe effect of religious affiliation on writing DNRs and performing “slowcodes.” Results indicate that insurance status has a significant effect uponthe likelihood of writing a DNR, with physicians more likely to write DNRsfor patients covered by public (i.e., government-funded, as compared toprivate) insurance. Religious affiliation was also significant, with greaterchurch attendance associated with a lesser likelihood of writing a DNR.Results should be interpreted with caution; however, findings from thisstudy support related research, and warrant further exploration.
