While hospitals offer sophisticated medical interventions and standardized protocols, they face challenges due to resource limitations and conflicting cultural values with patient preferences. Home-based care, conversely, emphasizes personalized and culturally appropriate practices; however, it is often hindered by a lack of professional monitoring and adequate resources. Navigating these settings presents logistical and emotional difficulties for nurses, while family caregivers stress the significance of cultural factors in their caregiving decisions.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A blended approach to palliative care, integrating the advantages of both hospital and home settings while mitigating their drawbacks, is crucial.
