A focused teaching strategy could help students better understand their own feelings and conduct. It could also foster positive attitudes that make it easier to provide outstanding care.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To evaluate the efficiency of palliative education programme for nursing students caring for patients at the end of life.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A quasi-experimental study was carried out with 216 nursing students from Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University in Alkharj, Saudi Arabia, using a proportionate stratified random sampling approach. The educational intervention consisted of three key modules: bereavement support, understanding the dying process and specialised palliative nursing care. Students engaged with 60 video segments through the Blackboard platform, available on a smartphone or tablet.

Therefore, it is recommended that a palliative care course should be a mandatory part of nursing curricula.
