Gaps in palliative care (PC) care in low-middle-income countries may be related, among other factors, to insufficient training of nursing professionals. The objective of this study is to identify the factors associated with having an adequate level of knowledge about CP in undergraduate nursing students at a university in Colombia. Methodology. Cross-sectional study in 182 nursing students. The adequate level of knowledge in PC was considered as a dependent variable. Sociodemographic and academic variables, and perceptions in PC (measured by the Rotterdam- MOVE2PC scale) were evaluated as potentially associated factors. The population and perceptions were characterized using descriptive statistics, and multiple logistic regression was performed to identify associated factors. Results. 9.89% of students had an adequate level of knowledge in PC. Associated factors were identified as studying between 5-8 semester (OR=9.48, 95%CI=2.26- 39.60), living with a partner (OR=5.57, 95%CI=1.04-29.79), and predominantly agree with the opinions in CP (OR=5.24, 95% CI=1.46-18.83). Discussion. The level of knowledge in PC identified in this study is like that reported in previous studies in Colombia. The associated factors are consistent with those described in other contexts. In this study, being a woman and having religious beliefs were not associated with an adequate level of knowledge in PC. Conclusions. Less than 10% of nursing students have an adequate level of knowledge in PC. It is necessary to adjust the nursing curriculum considering students’ perceptions of PC in order to adequately train them in PC, especially those between the first and fourth semester. 2025 artículo científico 0123-7047 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71983381005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71983381005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71983381005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71983381005/71983381005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/719/71983381005/movil 10.29375/01237047.5130 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=719 MedUNAB application/pdf Universidad Autónoma de Bucaramanga MedUNAB (Colombia) Num.2 Vol.28
