To describe and compare self-perceived end-of-life (EOL) knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and practices of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses compared to oncology nurses.
SAMPLE & SETTING: 126 Israeli nurses (79 oncology nurses and 47 ICU nurses) who were members of the Israel Association of Cardiology and Critical Care Nurses and the Israeli Oncology Nurses Organization.
METHODS & VARIABLES: This cross-sectional study used an online survey to gather demographic information, clinical setting, and study measures (EOL knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and practices).
Oncology nurses and ICU nurses showed moderate levels of self-perceived knowledge and attitudes toward palliative care; however, their self-reported behaviors were low. Oncology nurses scored slightly higher than ICU nurses on knowledge and attitudes but not behaviors, although the difference was not statistically significant.
Contrary to the current authors' expectations, oncology nurses and ICU nurses have similar levels of knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding palliative care. Nurses in both settings need to be better trained and empowered to provide such care.
描述和比较重症监护病房（ICU）护士与肿瘤护士对临终（EOL）的自我认知知识、态度、行为和实践。
126 名以色列护士（79 名肿瘤护士和 47 名 ICU 护士），他们是以色列心脏病学和重症监护护士协会以及以色列肿瘤护士组织的成员。
这项横断面研究使用在线调查收集人口统计学信息、临床环境和研究措施（EOL 知识、态度、行为和实践）。
肿瘤护士和 ICU 护士对姑息治疗的自我认知知识和态度处于中等水平；然而，他们自我报告的行为水平较低。肿瘤护士在知识和态度方面的得分略高于 ICU 护士，但在行为方面的得分没有统计学意义。
与作者的预期相反，肿瘤护士和 ICU 护士在姑息治疗方面的知识、态度和行为水平相似。这两个环境中的护士都需要接受更好的培训和授权，以提供此类护理。
