“…This finding was in the same line with Nepal, et al (18) , who conducted a study in Lumbini, Nepal about "Clinical Nurses' Knowledge and Attitude on Palliative Care" and reported that two thirds of participants were from the age group less than 25 years with a mean ± SD of 25±5.42 years.

Background Currently, palliative care plays an important role in increasingly aging populations and their long-term care needs. Surgical palliative care is important for improving quality of life. This study aimed to determine the knowledge level of nurses working in surgical clinics about palliative surgery. Method This research was conducted as a descriptive study. We included 182 nurses working in surgical clinics who agreed to participate and met the inclusion criteria for participation in the study. The Personal Information and Palliative Surgery Information Forms were used to collect data. Data were collected between November 30, and December 15, 2022. The analysis of the data obtained was performed using the Statistical Program in Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 25. The level of significance was set at P < .05. Results Nurses referred to palliative care as end-of-life care, 73.1% did not care for palliative care patients, and 84.6% did not receive training in palliative care. Surgical clinic nurses were found to have “moderate knowledge about palliative surgery. A statistically significant difference was found between the average palliative surgery knowledge of surgical clinic nurses and those trained in education and palliative care ( P < .05). Conclusions The results of the study showed that surgical clinic nurses had moderate knowledge about palliative surgery. Moreover, the nurses who have received training in palliative care and had high level of education exhibited a higher level of knowledge.

“…A confusão sobre os CP está associada á expectativa de vida a qualquer custo, falta de treinamento e uma cultura curativa presente nos profissionais que atuam na terapia intensiva. A execução de procedimentos invasivos na terapia intensiva vai prolongar a dor e o sofrimento, não trarão a cura para a doença principal, de modo que as ações paliativas não são apropriadas para este ambiente assistencial, onde a concepção de CP ainda se apresenta distante da premissa da unidade de cuidados intensivos (9)(10)(11)(12).…”
