Objective:To understand the current status of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) of nurses in palliative care under the model of palliative co-care in hospitals of different levels in Zhejiang Province, and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. Convenience sampling was used to select 541 clinical registered nurses from 3 Class Ⅲ hospitals, 3 Class Ⅱ hospitals, and 2 ClassⅠ hospitals in Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Lishui, Zhejiang Province, from March to April 2023. A general information questionnaire and the KAP Survey Scale of Palliative Care Under the Palliative Co-care Model were used to investigate the subjects. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors of nurses' KAP of palliative care under palliative co-care. A total of 541 questionnaires were distributed, and 535 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective response rate of 98.89%.Results:The scores of 535 nurses for palliative care knowledge, attitude, and practice were (16.29±1.99), (71.10±9.00), and (32.21±5.89), respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that hospital level, gender, and whether nurses have participated in on-the-job training on palliative care are influencing factors of nurses' knowledge of palliative care ( P<0.05) ; ethnicity and the duration of palliative care training courses attended within two years are influencing factors of nurses' attitude toward palliative care ( P<0.05) ; department is an influencing factor of nurses' practice of palliative care ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Under the palliative co-care model in Zhejiang Province, nurses demonstrate a good attitude toward palliative care, while their knowledge and practice levels of palliative care still have room for improvement, with distinct influencing factors for each dimension-hospital level, gender, and on-the-job training participation affect knowledge; ethnicity and training duration within two years affect attitude; and department affects practice.

The traditional teaching model centered on courses has disadvantages such as interdisciplinary barriers, repetitive learning of content, and students being unable to enter clinical practice early. The Human Body Overview I is a core course at the basic stage under the integrated curriculum system centered on "organ-systems" at Chongqing Medical University. The course deeply integrates interdisciplinary resources and reconstructs the contents of systematic anatomy, embryology, and physiology under the traditional teaching model. The "Three in One" curriculum ideology and politics are implemented to assist students in their comprehensive development. By strengthening the cultivation of clinical application abilities and empowering with virtual simulation technology, the teaching effectiveness and quality have been improved. The teaching practice of the Human Body Overview I suggests that the teaching reform of integrated curriculum at the basic stage has broken interdisciplinary barriers, avoided repetitive learning of contents, and promoted the cultivation of students' interdisciplinary integration ability and clinical application ability. It can provide a reference for the teaching reform of integrated curriculum for other colleges.
