Implication

Observational study showed increased awareness of advance health-care directives in nursing students, suggesting improved patient-centered care in oncology settings.

Key Points

Nursing students reported increased awareness and preference for proactive communication about therapies after the module, promoting better end-of-life care.
Students' preferences for refusing non-beneficial treatments rose from 63.6% to 71.4% following a 75-h oncology palliative care training module.
Analysis of pre-test and post-test questionnaire responses indicated a shift towards deeper reflection on ethical orientations, even without statistically significant changes.
Integrating advance health-care directive training may enhance nursing students' readiness to support patient self-determination in clinical practice.
