The study underscores the critical role of comprehensive palliative care and calls for more clarity around appropriate assisted suicide practices. Ongoing dialogue, enhanced training, and support for nurses to navigate both ethical and practical challenges posed by assisted suicide legislation is also needed. Future research should evaluate the effectiveness of these interventions and explore the long-term impacts of assisted suicide on patients, their families, and healthcare providers
