Objective:To explore the status quo and influencing factors of palliative care self-report practice among oncology nurses and provide references and directions for improving the palliative care practice of oncology nurses.Methods:This is a cross-sectional study. Totally 349 oncology nurses from four hospitals in Hangzhou were selected by convenience sampling from June to December 2022. Data were collected using a general information questionnaire, the Palliative Care Self-Report Practice Scale (PCPS), and the Palliative Care Knowledge Questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between PCPS scores and palliative care knowledge scores among oncology nurses. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to identify the influencing factors of palliative care self-report practice.Results:A total of 349 questionnaires were distributed, with 332 valid responses, resulting in an effective response rate of 95.13% (332/349). The total PCPS score among the 332 oncology nurses was (42.16±4.52). Among the six dimensions, the dyspnea dimension had the highest average item score of (2.85±0.54), while the communication dimension had the lowest average item score of (2.03±0.54). There was a positive correlation between PCPS scores and palliative care knowledge scores ( P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that years of work experience, attitude towards palliative care, understanding of palliative care, and palliative care knowledge scores were influencing factors of palliative care self-report practice among oncology nurses ( P<0.01), accounting for 66.30% of the total variance. Conclusions:The palliative care self-report practice of oncology nurses is at a moderate level and is influenced by various factors. Hospital leaders should provide individualized and diversified palliative care education and training aimed at improving palliative care practices. This should involve multiple approaches and levels to enhance the nurses' mastery of palliative care knowledge and clinical skills, thereby improving the quality of palliative care services and patient satisfaction.
