Palliative care perceptions and well-being in nurses across healthcare settings: a comparative study from Reggio Emilia, Northern Italy
Palliative care nursing requires strong emotional resilience, effective communication and comprehensive clinical training. This is true regardless of the setting. Our findings suggest that nurses in home care may need additional organizational support to manage emergencies and reduce emotional stress. This could improve quality of care for patients as well as caregivers, and reduce burnout risk in healthcare professionals in the palliative care network.
