Validation of Two Questionnaires Assessing Nurses’ Perspectives on Addressing Psychological, Social, and Spiritual Challenges in Palliative Care Patients

Palliative care provides holistic support, addressing physical, psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of suffering, known as "total pain", to improve patients' quality of life. Patients often rely on healthcare professionals, particularly nurses, for support. This study aimed to develop and validate questionnaires assessing nurses' perceptions of psychological, social, and spiritual issues in palliative care and their effectiveness in managing them.
