Of these, 60 patients were selected through convenient sampling as the research sample. The instruments adopted include: FAMCARE-P16 questionnaire to assess patient satisfaction with palliative care and Patient Information Form.

The findings revealed the patient care mean score within the first (SD=7.36) and fourth weeks (SD=65.83) was 49.6 and 65.83, respectively which demonstrates a 14.37 rate of increase. This increase with t = -17.46 is to be statistically significant (p<0.01). Therefore, it could be concluded that palliative care is effective in the satisfaction of patients with cancer.
