Oman has
witnessed great achievements in the past four decades especially in its
healthcare services that has been recognized by the World Health Organizations
and many other international organizations.
These
developments and achievements reduced the infant mortality rate and the incidence
of communicable diseases in the country. With these changes, Oman has
witnessed demographic and epidemiological changes in its structure leading to
increased longevity and increased prevalence of non-communicable chronic
diseases.
This generated
the need for palliative care services in the country with a major role that
nurses are required to undertake. Palliative care nurses work with individuals
and their families who are suffering from a life-threatening illnesses.
