The results of this study demonstrated that (generated evidence showing insufficient knowledge about PC among Palestinian nursing students at Al-Quds University, albeit favorable attitude towards EoLC. Insufficient knowledge could be due to the inadequate PC education in the nursing program. Students’ attitudes were positively influenced by the care of a family member or relative in their last days of life. Enhancing the students’ knowledge could, therefore positively improve the students’ attitudes towards death and care of dying people; this study recommends integrating PC education into the nursing curriculum at Palestinian Universities. Future studies can design PC courses to improve students’ knowledge and competence in delivering PC at universities.).
