The study was a descriptive cross- sectional investigation that targeted terminally ill patients at the FMC. Data collection involved an interviewer-administered questionnaire, which included demographic details and assessments using the Modified Palliative Outcome Scale (POS) and the WHO-5 well-being index for evaluating palliative outcomes and psycho-social well-being, respectively. Through Pearson correlation coefficient and multiple logistic regression analysis, three hypotheses were tested. The findings, based on 202 participants, indicated a positive correlation between palliative care outcomes and the psycho-social well-being of patients at FMC Abeokuta (r=.544, P < .01). Further examinations showed that there were positive connections between the medical side and the psychological side of palliative care and how patients were feeling emotionally and socially (r=.395, P < .05) and (r=.296, P< .05) respectively. However, no significant positive correlation was found between social palliative care (social integration and support) and psycho-social well-being. The study recommends that social workers should be employed and be involved in a comprehensive psychological and emotional support interventions which should be integrated into palliative care services in healthcare centresen-USPalliative carePatientPsycho-social well-being and Terminally illArticle
