Results: The main result shows that 142 (96.6%), 147 (100%) had positive attitude with different levels of experience, and 140 (95.24%) had good practice and 7 (4.76%) had fair practice on end-of-life care. Conclusion: The present study concluded that nurses had sufficient knowledge, practice, and favorable attitude towards end-of-life care. No statistically significant variations were found between nurses’ knowledge, practice, and attitudes about end-of-life care and their demographic characteristics.
