Design outcomes
Primary

| Improvement of knowledge and attitude of nurses on palliative care. As nursing education curriculum did not include specific formal training on palliative care, an Inservice Continuing Education program on Palliative care among the nurses involved in caring cancer patients would contribute for incorporation of palliative care in the total care continuum. This will help to improve the quality of life of patients and patient’s families as well as their satisfaction on nursing care.Timepoint: Baseline-Pretest-Assessment of knowledge and attitude of nurses before the educational intervention Post test- 2 weeks after the educational intervention | — |
