Özet:

Summary: Purpose: The research was carried out to identify the opinions of nurses working in intensive care units on the unnecessary treatment and application of older patients. The universe of research was formed by a total of 123 nurses working in the Intensive Care Units of an Education and Research Hospital in İzmir from 15 March to 15 May 2015. The sample of the study was composed of 75 nurses who were volunteer and accessible to participate in the study. The research data is collected using the data collection form. In the statistical analysis of the data, the difference between number, percentage and two average has been used for the importance test. Results and Results: Most nurses (49.3 percent) have defined the unnecessary treatment as "the treatment that is more than harmful" and 77.3 percent have found that they are using unnecessary treatment. 44% of nurses have shown that ineffective therapy is the "notropic dose of medications that don't be patient exitus". According to those who thought the treatments for elderly patients were ineffective, 38.7 percent of nurses said that the treatment was unlikely to meet the expectations. 65.3 percent of nurses said that the doctor decided to apply unnecessary treatment, and 41.4 percent said that the health team should make this decision. 68% of nurses said they did not find it appropriate to do the unnecessary therapy, 64% said they experienced ethical doubts during their practice, and 70.8% of nurses with ethical doubts said they did not resolve the ethical doubts problem they experienced. The majority of nurses have noted that in intensive care units patients are subjected to inútile treatment and that this treatment should not be done.  The ineffective treatment practices of nurses that the doctor decides are causing nurses to experience ethical doubts. In our country, it is recommended to decide on the implementation of ineffective treatment and to establish institutional and legal policies for the process of implementation of treatment.
