Abstract
Background: Effective training of health professionals is essential to end-of-life care.
Aims: To explore the level of knowledge on paediatric palliative care (PPC) of nurses in a children's monographic hospital.
Methods: Cross-sectional observational analytical study. A sample of 53 nurses were selected. The translated and validated Spanish version of the Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses was used.
Findings: Statistically significant differences (Mann-Whitney U; p=0.0346) were found between the knowledge of nurses in non-PPC-specific wards and nurses working in PPC, with the latter having a higher level of training in PPC (Chi-square; p=0.042).
Conclusion: Professional experience with children with palliative needs and training seems to be related to increased knowledge of palliative care.
