Summary
This study tests whether a 4-hour online training session can improve the self-efficacy of nurses who care for patients receiving palliative care. The training covers pain management strategies and is delivered via Zoom in four 50-minute blocks. Researchers will measure changes in nurses' confidence using a questionnaire before and after the training.
