There is no well-defined, reliable and valid method for measuring the quality of end-of-life care in the field of pediatric palliative care; further, limited studies that have examined the quality of dyeing experience among children in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The aim of this study was to assess the nurse's perceptions regarding the quality of children dying experience in the Sulaimanea Oncology and ICU Centre. Sixty nurses (30 Oncology and 30 ICU nurses) were recruited in the study. Study objectives were addressed using a survey design; a modified validated Quality of Death and Dying questionnaire and open ended questions were used in order to collect the quantitative and qualitative data Findings: The majority of participants reported that cancer dying children were significantly suffered pain, bleeding, stress and terrified from hospital more than ICU dying children and also cancer children family seem to stay with their child during death time more than the ICU children families. Nurses in both settings faced three barriers in offering the end of life care, such as no palliative unit available along with no adequate palliative care offered to the patients as standard in both Oncology and critical care settings (Institution and organizational barrier). Further, the family also makes a barrier as they spent too much time with their children and participate in the care of their children (family barrier), and limited role of the nurses barrier. Standard end of life care is necessary to manage deterioration patients and also a continuous specific end of life care education course is required for the nurse working in these settings.

However, the applications of flexible energy storage devices, especially supercapacitors are limited by their low energy density, because anode materials with large capacitance are scarce for the devices based on aqueous electrolyte. Therefore, developing high-performance anode is an effective way to break through the low energy density of flexible devices. Herein, the electroless plating method was used to prepare a flexible cobalt metal substrate based on carbon cloth (CC). The composite of Co9S8 and reduced oxide graphene (rGO/Co9S8(rGO)/CC) is prepared by one-step hydrothermal method as a flexible anode with outstanding performance. Benefiting from the high hydrogen storage capacity of rGO/Co9S8(rGO), only a small amount of anode materials are needed to match the capacity of the cathode material of rGO/Ni3S2(rGO). The optimized flexible device assembled by using rGO/Co9S8(rGO) as negative electrode and rGO/Ni3S2(rGO) as positive electrode shows a high specific capacitance of 192.4 mAh g−1 at the current density of 4.0 A g−1, large energy density (168.1 Wh kg−1 at 3.5 kW kg−1). Furthermore, the network structure of the electrode can provide enough space for the expansion and contraction of the electrode materials during the repeated charging and discharging process, so the device exhibits good cycle stability (the capacitance of the device can retain 84.3% after 6000 cycles). Moreover, the device also exhibits remarkable flexibility. These results reveal that this kind of electrochemical hydrogen storage material can be developed as a promising anode in flexible energy storage devices.
