People receiving palliative care have complex, wide-ranging, and changing needs, not just physical distress, but also psychosocial, practical, and spiritual. Influences on complexity in palliative care are different among healthcare providers and may depend on diverse aspects of the patient's condition, time, and environment. Therefore, this study aimed to integrate and describe the perspective of complexity in palliative care.
