9. Conclusion
The findings of this study showed that nurses are not knowledgeable about palliative care in Palestine. this study
emphasize the need for developing PC services. The provision of quality PC services requires however the
education and
training of nurses in this field. PC needs to become an integral part of all nursing school curricula as well as
continuing nursing and medical education program offerings. Further studies are needed in this area to clearly
understand the problems encountered in the practice setting and to guide the adoption of a PC delivery model
that is culturally sensitive and meets the needs of the Palestinian population.
