Voices from the Frontline: Nurses' Insights on End-of-Life Care through the Palliative Care Value-Added Course - A Qualitative Study.

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
Objectives: Palliative care education empowers nurses to provide compassionate, competent end-of-life care. It enhances communication, emotional resilience and patient-centred practices, improving the quality of life for patients with life-limiting illnesses. Structured training, such as the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC) course, strengthens clinical skills, reduces burnout and ensures dignified, holistic care in diverse healthcare settings. The present study explores the experience of nurses trained in the ELNEC palliative care course, which significantly improves their professional capabilities and attitudes towards end-of-life care. Materials and Methods: This phenomenological study explored nurses' experiences after completing the ELNEC Palliative Care Value-Added Course. Using purposive sampling, seven hospital-based nurses were interviewed online. Data were analysed using Colaizzi's method. Ethical approval was obtained, and participant confidentiality was ensured. Findings reflect the course's impact on practice, communication and emotional preparedness in end-of-life care. Results: Seven female nurses aged 22-26 participated in this phenomenological study. Thematic analysis using Colaizzi's method revealed enhanced patient-centred care, empathetic communication, emotional competence and professional resilience as major outcomes of ELNEC training. Participants advocated curriculum integration and emphasised practical exposure to strengthen value-added palliative care education further. Conclusion: ELNEC training enhances nurses' end-of-life care skills, communication and confidence, improving patient outcomes and professional satisfaction. Emphasising comprehensive, simulation-based learning further strengthens their capabilities in delivering compassionate, high-quality palliative care.
