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.

Objectives Spirituality, emotional intelligence, and palliative care (PC) knowledge have a positive and direct influence on self-efficacy and on perception of preparation and ability to provide end-of-life (EOL) care. The aim of this work is to propose a conceptual model that relates spirituality, emotional intelligence, PC knowledge, self-efficacy, and the preparation and ability to provide EOL care by doctors and nurses. Methods Quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, and inferential study applied to doctors and nurses in a hospital in the north of Portugal, between May and July 2022. The data collection instrument includes a questionnaire. The relationships between latent variables were evaluated using structural equation models by the partial least squares method using the Smart PLS 3.0 software. It was obtained the previous authorization of the ethics committee. Results The results (n = 380) indicate that self-efficacy, spirituality, and PC knowledge have a positive influence on the ability to provide EOL care. Emotional intelligence and spirituality have a direct and positive effect on self-efficacy. There is no direct influence of emotional intelligence on the ability to provide EOL care, but emotional intelligence has an indirect effect mediated by self-efficacy. Significance of results Spirituality, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence are very important for the ability of doctors and nurses to provide EOL care. The identification of predictive factors of the ability to provide EOL care and the determination of the relationship between them can improve the provision of EOL care, reduction of health costs, timely and early referral of people to PC, and increase life quality.
