“…So, these results are consistent with our results and approve that many nurse still have a lot of uncertainties about the positive effects of pain control medications. This finding is consistent with other studies that showed the quality of different aspect of daily living in cancer patients is low (Abbasnezhad et al, 2015;Aghdam et al, 2015;Faghani et al, 2015;Fathollahzade et al, 2015;Ghasempour et al, 2015;Tahory et al, 2016).…”

“…Finally, perceived benefits had an indirect effect on practices. This phenomenon manifests that although nurses can realize the benefit of patients receiving palliative care is that patients are able to die peacefully and had a good death with omnidirectional care, highlife quality, and dignity ( 30 ). The patient's religion and burial rites should be respected ( 31 ).…”

BackgroundIn 2017, the Chinese government launched a pilot project in palliative care, in which Shanghai was a pioneer. Nurses play a key role in palliative care services as they are the main providers improving the quality of services for patients and their families. However, little is known about practices and influencing factors in the field of palliative care from a nursing perspective in China. This is an original empirical study that has meticulously analyzed the interrelationship and intensity between practices and other factors among nurses in the initial stage of palliative care in primary healthcare institutions in Shanghai, China.MethodsA descriptive-correlational study design was used to sample 2,829 eligible palliative care nurses by purposive sampling survey in 225 healthcare institutions in Shanghai, China. Descriptive analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 24.0 software. Structural equation modeling was applied to analyze the data by AMOS 20.0. Data were collected using the well-designed Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of Hospice Care (KAPHC) scale.ResultsThe final model showed a good model fit. Self-efficacy directly influenced practices (β = 0.506, P < 0.01) and indirectly influenced practices (β = 0.028, P < 0.01) through intention. Subjective norm directly influenced practices (β = 0.082, P < 0.01) and indirectly influenced practices (β = 0.030, P < 0.01) through intention. Intention (β = 0.152, P < 0.01) and knowledge (β = 0.068, P < 0.01) directly influenced practices. Perceived susceptibility (β = −0.027, P < 0.01), perceived benefits (β = −0.017, P < 0.01), and perceived barriers (β = −0.014, P < 0.01) indirectly influenced practices through intention.ConclusionThis study provided evidence of the associations of knowledge, perceived susceptibility, benefits, barriers, subjective norm, self-efficacy, intention, and practices among nurses concerning palliative care and interventions improving their actual work practices. Our findings revealed that self-efficacy, intention, and subjective norms greatly influenced practices. It is imperative to take interventions that focus precisely on self-efficacy, intention, and subjective norms to improve nurses' practices.

“…This integration will lead to enhanced availability and improved outcomes (17,54). The results of recent research on PC also showed a need for HPC services in Iran, but since PC is an emerging approach, the HPC system establishment needs further research and preparation of facilities and requirements (10,14,41,42,53). However, from the experts' point of view, the implementation of the above actions will face limitations given that the PC system of Iran is still in its infancy.…”

“…In Jordan, 2 HPC service centers take advantage of specialists trained in other countries (40). In Iran, inadequate training and the lack of knowledge and experienced workforce in PC is one of the major challenges ahead (10,25,(41)(42)(43).…”

Background: There is an increasing demand for Hospice Palliative Care (HPC) due to the aging population, increased incidence of cancer, and other chronic diseases, as well as recent advances in care and treatment. Objectives: The present study was conducted to examine the nature and structure of HPC services and to describe and compare them in the United Kingdom (UK), Canada, Australia, Japan, India, Jordan, and Iran to extract general conclusions and suggestions for developing HPC systems in Iran. Methods: In the current descriptive-comparative study, from 2018 to 2019, HPC delivery systems in the selected countries and Iran were reviewed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guideline, and the similarities and differences among them were explained. Results: Developing the National HPC Program and its integration into the health system are important activities. The most common source of financing is donation. The services are mainly provided to patients with cancer. Human resource development includes curriculum reform, creating specialty, subspecialty disciplines, and holding training courses. Other activities include designing national guidelines, the free access to opioids, research development, the establishment of the national information network, and the quality control programs. Iran lacks any formal structure and program of HPC services and they are provided in a scattered and very limited manner as part of general palliative services. Conclusions: HPC services are in a mediate and low level in developed countries and Iran, respectively. Before the establishment of the HPC delivery system, a complicated range of economic, social, cultural, and political factors must be considered.
