Data collection tool was quality patient care scale (QUALPACS). In addition, data analysis was performed in PSSS version 20 using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean score for end-of-life care was 83.62±8.62 in the psychosocial, 85.36±7.74 in the communication and 92.23±10.88 in the physical aspects. According to the results, a significant relationship was observed between passing educational courses related to end-of-life care and quality of end-of-life care in the physical (P=0.002), psychosocial (P=0.02) and communication (P=0.01) aspects. According to the results of the study, the quality of care for dying patients was higher in the physical aspect, compared to other aspects.
