This study aimed to describe Chinese nursing students' knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding palliative care. Results showed that while students had positive attitudes towards death and caring for the dying, they had low levels of knowledge and self-efficacy in palliative care, indicating a need for integrating palliative care education into nursing curriculum in China. Special attention should also be paid to psychosocial and spiritual care teaching and preparing students to cope with challenges in the process of a patient's dying.
Aim: To describe nursing students' knowledge, attitudes and self-efficacy about palliative care and to examine the associations between these variables in China. Design: A descriptive correlational study. Methods: Undergraduate nursing students (N = 187) at the end of third year of education from a university were surveyed. Measurements included the Chinese versions of the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing, the Death Attitude Profile-Revised, the Frommelt Attitude Toward Care of the Dying Scale and the Palliative Care Self-Efficacy Scale. Descriptive and correlational analyses were performed. Results: Although most nursing students had favourable attitudes towards death and caring for the dying, students had low level of knowledge and self-efficacy regarding palliative care, suggesting the need for integrating palliative care education into nursing curriculum in China. Moreover, special attention should be paid to psychosocial and spiritual care teaching and preparing students to psychologically deal with the challenges in the process of patient's dying.
