Associations were tested using stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results: The village health volunteers had a mean score for caring activities for end-of-life patients at a good level (M = 83.20, SD = 0.88). Significant predictors of caring activities were perceived role of caring (b = 0.225), recognition and respect (b = 0.250), and attitudes towards caring (b = 0.224) with a 34.4% of the variance of caring activities explained (R2 = 0.344, P-value < 0.001). Conclusion: Perceived role of caring, recognition and respect and attitudes towards caring for end-of-life patients predicted care activities by village health volunteers.
