Abstract: Objective: To investigate the current status of attitudes toward palliative care among geriatric nursing staff in Suzhou and analyze its influencing factors, so as to provide a basis for the optimization of palliative care services. Methods: Using a convenience sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 311 nursing staff from geriatric departments of general hospitals and elderly care institutions using the Chinese version of the Frommelt Attitudes Toward Care of the Dying Scale. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were performed to identify the factors influencing the attitudes toward palliative care among geriatric nursing staff. Results: The total score of attitudes toward palliative care among 311 geriatric nursing staff was 107.21±7.59. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that hospital type, age, years of working experience, educational background, professional title, and experience of palliative care training at work were the main factors influencing the attitudes toward palliative care among geriatric nursing staff (P<0.05). Conclusion: The attitudes toward palliative care among geriatric nursing staff in Suzhou are generally positive; however, significant group differences exist. Therefore, stratified training programs should be developed based on the specific characteristics of nursing staff to enhance the quality of palliative care services.
