Background: Palliative care is something that all people should have the right to be allowed to, to be able to enjoy the qualities of life, even when someone has been afflicted with illness that cannot be cured. How do the nurses in municipal home-care deal with and prepare themselves to perform a righteous task? Aim: The aim of this study is to illuminate nurses, comprehensions of palliative care within municipal home-care. Method: The method is a questionnaire to nurses. Results: The results did comply to law and regulations. The feedback we got from the respondents were that they wanted, and nearly always may be available when needed by the patients within palliative care, and support their next of kin. What was demanded by the respondents was supervision, but it is mostly impossible referring to economic reasons.
