Knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding palliative care among Palestinian nurses in intensive care units.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPalliative care is crucial for all intensive care unit (ICU) clinicians. However, its effective implementation is often challenged by insufficient training, high staff turnover, and limited resources, negatively affecting the quality of care. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding palliative care among ICU nurses in hospitals in the West Bank.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 260 ICU nurses in governmental hospitals across the West Bank. Data were gathered between January and July 2024 through self-administered questionnaires, including the Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses (PCQN), the Frommelt Attitudes Towards Care of the Dying (FATCOD) scale, and the Palliative Care Self-Efficacy Scale (PCSES).
resultsThe findings revealed insufficient levels of palliative care knowledge (M = 6.6 ± 2.6 out of 20), positive/favorable attitudes (M = 94.1 ± 2.9 out of 150), and low self-efficacy in palliative care (M = 23.0 ± 8.1 out of 48) among nurses. Significant predictors of self-efficacy included ICU experience and marital status, with single nurses and more experience showing higher self-efficacy (p < 0.01).
conclusionThis study highlights the pressing need for targeted interventions to address the gaps in palliative care knowledge and attitudes among ICU nurses. Implementing such initiatives could substantially improve the delivery of palliative care in resource-constrained settings, emphasizing the importance of action to promote better patient outcomes.
