Introduction : Present health care in India relies on secondary prevention with less attention onpalliative care. Knowledge, attitude and practices among palliative care does not seem to be uniformly distributed in India, more so in the second most populous state Maharashtra. Hence,a study was conducted among post graduate students of a medical college, Mumbai to assess the same. Material and Methods :A cross sectional study was conducted amongst conveniently selected 100 final year post graduate students of clinical departments in a randomly selected medical college in Maharashtra. The data was collected through pre tested questionnaire from May 2019 to July 2019. It was entered in Microsoft excel and analyzed in percentages. Necessary permissions andwritten consent were obtained from the participants.Results : All the participants 100 (100%) knew about palliative care. Forty(40%) were aware about palliative care needs of the patients like pain relief, spiritual, psychosocial care but none of them (0%) were aware that it helps to reduce financial hardships. Only 19(19%) of participants were aware that palliative care starts when the patient is diagnosed with chronic illness. Eighty (80%) participants said that they would advise palliative care to chronically ill patients but 70(70%) did not know which hospitals provide palliative care. None of the participants received training in palliative care. Majority of participants 98 (98%) were interested in receiving training for palliative care. Conclusions:Though post graduate students knew concept of palliative care, but did not have detailed knowledge including its practical application .

Background and Purpose:Nursing students must acquire knowledge and skills sufficient to deliver high-quality services. Previous studies indicated that students’ palliative care knowledge was insufficient. Few studies evaluating nursing students’ palliative care opinions and skills are available in Turkey. This study aimed to determine student nurses’ knowledge of palliative care.Methods:This descriptive survey study included 658 students. Researchers collected the data via a 19-item questionnaire. Frequency, percentage, and mean values were used in analysis of the data.Results:Only 5.3% of participants correctly answered all items, while 26.3% gave correct answers in line with palliative care theoretical framework, and 5.3% gave correct responses for symptom management. Students were found to be quite lacking in palliative care knowledge.Implications for Practice:A content increase in the curriculum could improve students’ theoretical knowledge. In addition, students can be incorporated, as team members, into the palliative care process beginning at patient diagnosis.
