Facilitators and Barriers to Receiving Palliative Care in People with Kidney Disease: Predictive Factors from an International Nursing Perspective.

This study demonstrates variation in PC practice across Europe. Some professionals identified fewer barriers to PC and appeared more confident when dealing with difficult situations in a patient's care pathway, while others identified more barriers as obstacles to the implementation of adequate treatment. The number of years of nephrology experience and the geographical area of origin predicted how nurses would respond. This study was not registered.
