Improving Palliative Care Knowledge of nurses caring for heart failure patients
Educational sessions improved nurses' PC knowledge, and future education should emphasize improving PC perceptions and symptom management. However, evaluating the effectiveness of PC education is challenging because of low participation. Further research with a larger sample, longer implementation time, ongoing evaluation of PC knowledge, and nurses with diverse ages and experiences is required to understand the impact of PC education.
