Nurses are constantly positioned at the heart of hospice care, providing relief to the dying on a medical, psychological, social, and spiritual level. There is a universal and urgent need for qualified nurses to provide compassionate care and provide dignity for terminal patients because to the ageing population and the increasing morbidity of chronic illnesses. The purpose of this study was to assess how nursing students' opinions, knowledge, and attitudes towards palliative care changed as a result of their education. It was discovered that the students knowledge and attitudes had improved as a result of the palliative care instruction they received. Yet, it was shown that postgraduate students' motivation to serve as palliative care nurses was decreased by schooling.
