In recent years, palliative medicine has been an important subject of numerous research studies. The care provided by the multi-functional and interdisciplinary team is not only based on the provision of health care to the needy, but the emphasis is placed on alleviating the resulting complaints and providing psychological support while preserving the dignity of the patient as a whole. The development of palliative care changes over the years and tends to progress, especially in the Republic of Croatia, but the social environment in which we live must also strive to progress in attitudes and knowledge about palliative care. Palliative care is intended for the patient, his family and the community, therefore it is important to appreciate the work of professionals and the organization of institutions and to reduce prejudices about palliative care and about patients who need palliative care. The problem is not only prejudices, but the fact that they lead to the appearance of stigmatization of patients and their families. Precisely with the aim of determining the presence of prejudices and stigmatization of society towards palliative care and patients, research was conducted using an anonymous Google Docs form in which questions were asked about the method of providing and organizing palliative care. The survey also included statements from the "Knowledge scale about palliative care" and the most common prejudices about palliative care, so the survey participants had to express their own opinion on the given topic. The survey was available for solving in the period from July 25 to August 25, 2022, after which the analysis of the obtained data was done. The results are surprisingly positive and indicate that the majority of research participants are familiar with the concept of palliative care, its work and organization. Furthermore, a large number of participants express positive attitudes about the provision of palliative care and do not agree with the mentioned prejudices, but they believe that people who need palliative care and their families are largely stigmatized in society.
