Abstract

Purpose: This study is aimed to investigate the effect of web-based pediatric palliative care education on nursing students’ knowledge level and practices related to palliative care. Methods: The study was conducted with 265 nursing students including an intervention and a control group. The intervention group was given web-based pediatric palliative care education.

Practical Implications: The web-based pediatric palliative care education is an effective training model for nursing students to improve palliative care knowledge level and practices of the students.
