Aim of the research: The aim of the research: To examine the knowledge of health professionals about palliative care and to determine the differences in relation to the personal characteristics of the respondents. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Respondents and methods: 120 respondents participated in the research. A survey questionnaire was created in two parts, which was distributed online. The research was conducted in April 2024. Results: The respondents show good knowledge about involving patients in palliative care, how to plan and provide palliative care and assessment of needs. Men agree more that palliative care is carried out for the purpose of suppressing pain, while respondents with secondary education agree the least that it is focused on the patient and the family. Respondents at the secondary level of health care are less likely to agree that working in palliative care is a valuable experience, and at the tertiary level they are least likely to agree that care for the family should continue during grief and bereavement. Older respondents are more likely to agree that palliative care is planned according to the patient's preferences and wishes, that working in palliative care is a valuable experience. Respondents who have more encounters with palliative care are more likely to agree that palliative care includes assessment and problem solving in all aspects of life, that the goal is to improve the quality of life of the patient and family, that family members should be involved in care and that families it is necessary to provide emotional support in accepting the behavior of the dying person. Conclusion: The results show that the respondents have good knowledge about palliative care, but there is a need for improvement, which can be achieved through changes in the education system and through additional training of health professionals.
