This cross sectional study was consisted of 122 nurses from a regional hospital in northern Taiwan. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. The results of the study showed that: (1) about 94.3% of the nurses had experience of taking care of Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) patients. In addition, 33.8% of the nurses never received training on hospice care and 58.2% of the subjects would explain DNR to patients or families. (2) Emotional responses of cat tug DNR patients included powerlessness (76.3%), worrisome (63.2%), sorrow (56.6%), fear (58.2%), and bewilderment (55.8%). (3) The average scores for knowledge and attitude of the hospice care were 7.51 and 87.2, respectively. (4) The knowledge about hospice care was associated with clinical ladder and working experience. (5) The attitude toward hospice care was associated with nursing clinical ladder, experience of caring DNR patients, and whether explaining DNR to patients or families actively. (5) The emotional response of facing DNR patients and the attitude of hospice elite was also correlated (r=0.29, p＜.05). Our study indicated that the knowledge of hospice care for nurses of non-hospice ward was insufficient and they felt powerless when facing DNR patients. Routine training on hospice ward should be provided to nurses from non-hospice wards.
