Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies factors improving palliative care practices in visiting nurses, suggesting collaboration enhances care for diverse patient needs.

Key Points

  • Collaboration with nurse specialists significantly improves palliative care practices for physical, psychological, and social distress.
  • Visiting nurses primarily address physical distress, but need better training to handle psychological, social, and spiritual distress effectively.
  • A well-defined perception of palliative care is linked to enhanced care, especially for social and spiritual distress in patients.
  • Targeted education for visiting nurses is essential to improve their understanding of palliative care and its implementation.
