In addition to self-perceived competence, factors associated with a palliative approach include identification of patients who have life-limiting conditions and who would benefit from a palliative approach, and work environment. The psychometric analyses of the Palliative Care Nursing Self-Competence Scale confirmed a 10-dimensional structure, strong internal consistency reliability, and measurement equivalence.Discussion and conclusion: This study provides information for future development and research on interventions for integrating a palliative approach.
