Effects of awareness of person-centered care, knowledge of life-sustaining treatment decisions, and attitudes toward advance directives on end-of-life care competency among nurses in long-term care hospitals: A cross-sectional study

Various educational strategies that promote awareness of person-centered care and foster positive attitudes toward advance directives are needed to enhance nurses' end-of-life care competency in long-term care hospitals. Additionally, educational programs that provide opportunities for both direct and indirect experience in end-of-life care are needed, as such programs can help establish a system to ensure the delivery of high-quality end-of-life care.
