Abstract
Introduction: The objective of the study was to identify factors related to culture and/or religion that impact decision making at the end of life. Conclusions: * Improving cancer care in developing countries requires that the culture, traditions, and religious inclinations of healthcare providers, patients, and family, as well as the expert use of negotiation skills, be considered. * Culturally appropriate care model is needed to enhance palliative and end of life care in developing countries. * A cultural care model using Leininger's Cultural Care Theory seems an appropriate path to take.
