The lowest scores were in psychosocial and spiritual care. Nurses generally feel competent; however, they often lack confidence in addressing patients\u2019 social and spiritual needs. They experienced unease when discussing death and exhibited paternalistic attitudes. Significant differences were found in educational background, nursing experience, personal caregiving experience, and practice setting. Positive correlations exist between attitudes, knowledge, and self-competence, indicating that greater knowledge and competence were associated with better attitudes toward end-of-life care.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study highlights the need for educational interventions focusing on communication skills, pain management, psychological and spiritual care, and patient-centered care to improve nurses\u2019 competence in delivering high-quality palliative care in hospital settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/08258597251341981","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]],"date-time":"2025-06-10T03:26:18Z","timestamp":1749525978000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Palliative Care Knowledge, Attitudes, and Self-Competence of Nurses Working in Hospital Settings"],"prefix":"10.1177","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5106-8046","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mona Ibrahim","family":"Hebeshy","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Darcy","family":"Copeland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, University of Northern Colorado, Greeley, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","unstructured":"World Health Organization.
