Nurses represent the largest group of healthcare professionals and provide patient care seven days a week. To deliver high-quality palliative care, nurses need education and training.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to explore how newly graduated palliative care nurses experienced and perceived the relevance and impact of their education on professional growth and clinical work during and after completing the postgraduate education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An exploratory descriptive design was applied using a qualitative method.

After pursuing a postgraduate education in palliative care, nurses experience professional growth that continues after graduation. The education led to enhanced attention to, and application of, skills essential for metacognition, stimulating critical thinking and impacting their clinical work. As graduated palliative care nurses, they felt valued as resources by their colleagues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23779608261470480","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,17]],"date-time":"2026-07-17T14:00:46Z","timestamp":1784296846000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Professional Growth During and After Completing a Postgraduate Education in Palliative Care \u2013 A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8436-6469","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karoline","family":"SKEDSMO","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovisenberg Diaconal University College"},{"name":"Oslo University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7316-2890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camilla","family":"OLAUSSEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovisenberg Diaconal University College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristin","family":"HOFS\u00d8","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovisenberg Diaconal University College"},{"name":"Oslo University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simen A.","family":"STEINDAL","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovisenberg Diaconal University College"},{"name":"VID Specialized University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carina","family":"LUNDH HAGELIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marie Cederschi\u00f6ld University"},{"name":"Karolinska Institutet"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Deborah","family":"HILDERSON","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Research and Innovation in Care (CRIC), Workforce management, Health Systems and Outcome Research in Care Group, Karel de Grote University College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9a Aparecida","family":"Gon\u00e7alves NES","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Stavanger, Stavanger, Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dieter","family":"SMIS","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mother and Child care, ZAS Hospitals"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1971-7701","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hege Vistven","family":"STENSETH","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovisenberg Diaconal University College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2605-8828","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hanne Maria","family":"BINGEN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lovisenberg Diaconal University College"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.nedt.2020.104489"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.glmedi.2024.100051"},{"issue":"01","key":"e_1_3_7_4_1","first-page":"101","article-title":"Social desirability bias in qualitative health research","volume":"56","author":"Bispo J\u00fanior J.
