Residency-trained nurse' knowledge and attitude towards palliative care in a specific region of China: a cross-sectional 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
aimThe purpose of this study was to insight into the perceptions, beliefs, and perceptions of Residency-trained nurse and to identify their attitudes and requirements for palliative care.
methodsA descriptive, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey were conducted. From January to May 2025, 367 residency-trained nurse were recruited from five tertiary hospitals in Chongqing Municipality, China. Participants completed a demographic form, 20-item the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing (PCQN), 29-item the Frommelt Attitudes Towards Care of the Dying (FATCOD) and 32-item Death Attitude Profile-Revised (DAP-R) questionnaire.Independent t-tests and univariate analysis were employed to investigate the relationships among the three main variables, and multiple regression analysis was used to identify the factors influencing the knowledge acquisition of palliative care among resident nurses.
resultsResidency-trained nurse’ palliative care knowledge level was low (8.77±2.97; range = 0–20) and their attitude toward palliative care was moderate low (75.32±8.29, range: 30–120). Knowledge was significantly correlated with attitude (r = -0.321, p ≤0 .001). The linear regression model with four factors (The reasons for choosing the nursing profession、Do the people in your family openly discuss topics related to death、FATCOD、DAP) explained 15.8% of the variance in total knowledge related to palliative care(F = 3.426, p＜0.001).
conclusionsThe attitudes of resident nurses towards death and caring for terminally ill patients are positive, but their overall level of knowledge about palliative care is relatively low. This might be due to the insufficient palliative care education in the nursing plan. In the nursing residency training program in Chongqing City, China, palliative care education should be incorporated into the nursing curriculum, and nursing educators should particularly emphasize the teaching of social psychology and spiritual care, and strengthen the students' psychological handling ability in dealing with the challenges during the patients' terminal stage.
