Abstract (English): Introduction: Euthanasia was depenalized in Colombia in 2014 as a measure that broadens the right to make decisions related to a dignified death. Currently, euthanasia continues to be a controversial topic that generates diverse opinions and positions. Objective: Explore the knowledge of the definitions and know the opinions that university students have regarding euthanasia. Methods: Cross-sectional study with data obtained through a electronic survey on euthanasia in volunteer university students from Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá and Universidad del Cauca in Popayán. The questionnaire contained questions on general participant information, knowledge about euthanasia and opinions based on hypothetical cases. Results: 758 students participated, 60% of them female, with a mean age of 22 years. 53% of students identified the appropriate definition of euthanasia, 77% would consider applying for euthanasia in hypothetical cases of end-stage disease. A significant proportion confused the definition of euthanasia with that of palliative care. Conclusions: A lack of knowledge regarding the definition of euthanasia proposed by the World Health Organization was observed and although euthanasia was accepted by most of the study population, our results indicate the need to open spaces for information and dialogue on the subject.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: La eutanasia fue despenalizada en Colombia en 2014 como una medida que amplía el derecho para la toma de decisiones en el marco de una muerte digna. En la actualidad, la eutanasia continúa siendo un tema de gran desconocimiento por parte de la población general, con la consecuente diversidad de opiniones y posturas. Objetivo: Explorar el conocimiento de las definiciones y conocer las posturas que tienen estudiantes universitarios sobre la eutanasia. Métodos: Estudio observacional de corte transversal con datos obtenidos por medio de una encuesta virtual voluntaria sobre eutanasia en estudiantes de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana de Bogotá y de la Universidad del Cauca en Popayán. El cuestionario utilizado incluyó datos generales, definición de eutanasia y casos hipotéticos relacionados. Resultados: Participaron 758 estudiantes. Un 60 % de sexo femenino y con media de edad de 22 años. El 53 % de los estudiantes identificó la definición apropiada de eutanasia y el 77 % consideraría la posibilidad de recurrir a ella en un caso hipotético de padecer una enfermedad en fase avanzada. Una proporción importante confundió la definición de eutanasia con la de cuidados paliativos. Conclusiones: Existe un alto grado de desconocimiento de la definición de eutanasia propuesta por la Organización Mundial de la Salud, a pesar de su aceptación por la población estudiada; los resultados indican la necesidad de abrir espacios de información y diálogo sobre el tema.
