In the X dimension, 253 codes were identified, with environmental, supply, and demand policy tools comprising 57.71, 23.32, and 18.97%, respectively. In the Y dimension, 423 codes were identified, with government agencies, medical institutions, social organizations, and healthcare professionals comprising 73.05, 18.44, 4.96, and 3.55%, respectively. In the Z dimension, 253 codes were identified, corresponding to three stages: initial exploration (10.67%), in-depth exploration (14.62%), and pilot implementation (74.70%).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Palliative care in China is gradually advancing. However, policy tools remain imbalanced, with a strong emphasis on environmental tools over demand-side tools, leading to internal structural inconsistencies. The allocation of policy tools among stakeholders is also uneven, characterized by a single-entity dominance and a government-driven supply model. It is recommended that policies be aligned with their developmental stages, the structure of policy tools be optimized, balanced utilization among stakeholders be ensured, and role differentiation and collaboration enhanced.<\/jats:p>\n
