All the subjects were investigated with palliative care knowledge questionnaire (PCQN) and the palliative care training needs questionnaire. Multivariate linear regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors. A total of 600 questionnaires were sent out and 579 valid questionnaires were collected.

The factors influencing the knowledge level of palliative care among medical staff were discussed with dying patients or their families, heard of palliative care, educational level, professional title and experience of palliative care, which could explain 37.8% of the total variation of the factors.
