Palliative care is one of the most important areas of practice because it includes caring for vulnerable people who are mostly in their last stage of life. Palliative care is a relatively new specialty in the Middle East and little is known about student nurses' knowledge of and attitudes towards it.
The aim of this study was to explore students' knowledge of and attitudes towards palliative care in the Middle East, and to use the findings to make recommendations to higher education institutions about its importance.
An integrative review following an established framework was used. Hawker's Assessment Tool was employed to evaluate the quality of the research articles.
The search found seven quantitative studies from four countries in the Middle East. Their focus was on students' knowledge (=5) and attitudes (=2). The number of participants ranged from 110 to 452, with knowledge scores ranging from 5.23 to 8.0 out of 20 on all or part of the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing. Students' attitudes were marginally positive toward palliative care and dying patients.
There are few studies in the Middle East investigating student nurses' knowledge of and attitude toward palliative care; consequently, more attention needs to be given to this area of practice.
姑息治疗是实践中最重要的领域之一，因为它包括照顾处于生命最后阶段的弱势群体。姑息治疗在中东是一个相对较新的专业，人们对学生护士对姑息治疗的了解和态度知之甚少。
本研究旨在探讨中东学生对姑息治疗的知识和态度，并利用研究结果向高等教育机构提出重视姑息治疗的建议。
采用既定框架进行综合回顾。使用 Hawker 的评估工具评估研究文章的质量。
搜索结果发现了来自中东四个国家的七项定量研究。它们的重点是学生的知识（=5）和态度（=2）。参与者人数从 110 到 452 人不等，所有或部分姑息护理护理测验的知识得分从 5.23 到 8.0 不等。学生对姑息治疗和临终患者的态度略有积极。
在中东，很少有研究调查学生护士对姑息治疗的知识和态度；因此，需要更多地关注这一实践领域。
