Impact of palliative care education on nursing students’ attitudes toward end-of-life care: a pre-post analysis
While the educational intervention led to modest improvements in attitudes toward EOL care, particularly among older students, the findings highlight the need for personalised, sustained and reflective training approaches. Tailoring education to students' developmental stages and incorporating experiential learning can better prepare nursing students for the emotional challenges of EOL care. These insights have significant implications for the development of more effective palliative care curricula in nursing education.
