Vietnamese versions of 3 validated instruments were used to measure students\u2019 palliative knowledge (Palliative Care Knowledge Test), attitude (Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale - Form B), and self-efficacy (Palliative Care Self - Efficacy Scale). Multiple regression analysis was conducted to identify key predictors of self-efficacy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean scores among undergraduate nursing students were 11.86\u2009\u00b1\u20092.40 out of 22 for palliative care knowledge, 103.58\u2009\u00b1\u20097.21 out of 150 for attitude, and 22.86\u2009\u00b1\u20096.02 out of 48 for self-efficacy. These results indicated a good level of knowledge, a generally positive attitude, and a low level of self-efficacy toward palliative care. A positive correlation was found among knowledge, attitude, and self-efficacy toward palliative care. Knowledge was identified as a significant predictor of self-efficacy, explained 25.3% of the total variance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Palliative care knowledge significantly predicted self-efficacy among undergraduate nursing students.
