Nurses play essential roles in the delivery of PC, including end-of-life care.\n\nObjectives: The study aimed to describe nurses\u2019 readiness to provide PC in Oman by measuring PC knowledge and attitudes towards end-of-life care.\n\nMethod: A cross-sectional design was used. The Palliative Care Knowledge Questionnaire and the Modified Frommelt Attitude towards the Care of the Dying Scale were used to collect data from nurses (n = 1469) practising in government tertiary hospitals across Oman.\n\nResults: The nurses exhibited suboptimal PC knowledge and positive attitudes towards end-of-life care. Significant differences were noted in some domains of knowledge and attitudes of nurses with different levels of professional experience. Attitude towards end-of-life care was associated with experience, caring for a dying family member, education and training in PC, religiosity, spirituality and age, but none was a significant predictor. The predictors of PC knowledge were gender, caring for a dying family member and education and training in PC.\n\nConclusion: Nurses in tertiary care settings in Oman have positive attitudes towards end-of-life care, but they lack optimal PC knowledge. The gaps in knowledge could be attributed to professional education, training and experience.\n\nContribution: The identified gaps in nurses\u2019 PC knowledge could influence the provision of PC. Interventions are needed to sustain optimal knowledge and competencies to deliver quality PC to patients and their families.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/curationis.v48i1.2734","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,23]],"date-time":"2025-07-23T08:52:04Z","timestamp":1753260724000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Palliative care knowledge and attitudes towards end-of-life care of nurses in tertiary hospitals"],"prefix":"10.4102","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5729-3770","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eilean","family":"Lazarus","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04wq8zb47","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Sultan Qaboos University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3091-8835","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joshua","family":"Muliira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04wq8zb47","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Sultan Qaboos University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1598-6741","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Omar","family":"Al-Zaabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/04wq8zb47","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Sultan Qaboos University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2937-8838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murtadha","family":"Al-Khabori","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/049xx5c95","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Sultan Qaboos University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4471-7938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mudhar","family":"Al Adawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7019-3827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qasim","family":"Al Mamari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/049xx5c95","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Sultan Qaboos University Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2580","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Abu Sharour, L.M., Al-Noumani, H., Al Sabei, S., Al Hashmi, I., Al Harrasi, M. & Al-Yazidi, B., 2021, \u2018Community-based palliative care in the Arab region: Current status and future directions\u2019, in Palliative care for chronic cancer patients in the community: Global approaches and future applications, pp. 361\u2013375, Springer Nature Switzerland AG, Cham.","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-54526-0_31"},{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Al-Azri, M., Al-Saidi, S., Al-Musilhi, J., Al-Mandhari, Z. & Panchatcharam, S.M., 2021, \u2018Knowledge and experiences of final year medical and nursing students with regard to palliative care at government university in Oman: A questionnaire based study\u2019, Journal of Cancer Education 36(4), 747\u2013754. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s13187-020-01699-0","DOI":"10.1007\/s13187-020-01699-0"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Al Qadire, M., 2022, \u2018Jordanian student nurses\u2019 attitudes towards the care of dying patients\u2019, Omega (Westport) 86(2), 382\u2013394. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0030222820971077","DOI":"10.1177\/0030222820971077"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Altarawneh, W.M., Masa\u2019deh, R., Hamaideh, S.H., Saleh, A.M. & Alhalaiqa, F., 2023, \u2018Nurses\u2019 knowledge, attitudes and practices towards palliative care provided to patients diagnosed with cancer\u2019, PLoS One 18(10), e0289317. https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.0289317","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0289317"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Balante, J., Van den Broek, D.V.D. & White, K., 2021, \u2018How does culture influence work experience in a foreign country?
