Abstract

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.
