Purpose:
This study was carried out descriptively to determine the view and applications about pallative care of nurses working in a university hospital.
Design And Methods:
The data were collected with the questionnaire form: "Individual Information Form" and "Views and Appllications on Palliative Care," created by the researchers in line with the literature.
Findings:
A total of 96.6% of the nurses evaluated the scope of palliative care as pain relief, and the most common difficulties in care were identified as bad news (88.1%). In all, 22.0% of the nurses talked to the patient and their family about death.
Practice Implications:
It is thought that the majority of nurses are not trained in palliative care and their opinions about palliative care are affected by this situation.
