To explore oncology nurses' perceptions and experiences with palliative care.
To identify facilitators and barriers to palliative care integration in oncology practice.
To inform strategies for enhancing palliative care delivery in cancer care.

Main Methods:

A descriptive study utilizing narrative data analysis.
Focus groups were conducted with 33 oncology nurses in three midwestern hospitals.

Inductive analysis of narratives identified key themes and descriptors of palliative care.

Main Results:

Nurses demonstrated a clear understanding of palliative care principles.
Fourteen descriptors of palliative care emerged from the narratives.
Divergent views were noted regarding palliative care's intersection with oncology, influenced by limited time, life-prolonging emphasis, and care coordination challenges.

Conclusions:

Oncology nurses comprehend palliative care objectives but varied perspectives may impede timely consultations with palliative care specialists.
The acute care environment poses significant challenges to implementing comprehensive palliative care.
Developing collaborative partnership models between palliative care teams and oncology nurses is essential to address barriers and improve care across the continuum.
