          Abstract

          Background

          Nurses and researchers emphasize the importance of adding educational content of palliative care to nursing curricula in Iran as a means to improve the quality of care at the end of life and self-efficacy is considered as an important determinant in palliative care nursing. However, undergraduate nursing students are not sufficiently trained to achieve the qualifications required in palliative care. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of combined training (theoretical-practical) of palliative care on the perceived self-efficacy of nursing students.

          Methods

          This is a semi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design. Sampling was nonrandomized with convenience method and included 23 seventh-semester students. The intervention consisted of palliative care training for ten theoretical sessions and three practical sessions. Data were collected using demographic and the perceived self-efficacy questionnaires completed before and after the intervention. Data were then analyzed in the statistical SPSS 23 software using descriptive and analytical statistics.

          Results

          The mean age of the samples was 22.78 (SD1.17). Most of the participants were male (56.5%) and single(91.3%). The findings showed that, perceived self-efficacy, psycho-social support and symptom management improved significantly after the intervention (p<0.05).

          Conclusion

          Palliative care training can increase the nursing students perceived self-efficacy. Since nursing students are the future nurses of the care system, therefore, managers and planners can take a step towards improving the quality of nursing care by using palliative care training programs. Since nursing students will be future nurses in health care system, therefore, managers and planners can take steps to improve the quality of nursing care by using palliative care education programs.

            Redefining Palliative Care—A New Consensus-Based Definition

            Lukas Radbruch, Liliana De Lima, Felicia Marie Knaul … (2020)
            Context. The International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care developed a consensus-based definition of palliative care (PC) that focuses on the relief of serious health-related suffering, a concept put forward by the Lancet Commission Global Access to Palliative Care and Pain Relief. Objective. The main objective of this article is to present the research behind the new definition. Methods. The three-phased consensus process involved health care workers from countries in all income levels. In Phase 1, 38 PC experts evaluated the components of the World Health Organization definition and suggested new/revised ones. In Phase 2, 412 International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care members in 88 countries expressed their level of agreement with the suggested components. In Phase 3, using results from Phase 2, the expert panel developed the definition. Results. The consensus-based definition is as follows: Palliative care is the active holistic care of individuals across all ages with serious health-related suffering due to severe illness and especially of those near the end of life. It aims to improve the quality of life of patients, their families and their caregivers. The definition includes a number of bullet points with additional details as well as recommendations for governments to reduce barriers to PC. Conclusion. Participants had significantly different perceptions and interpretations of PC. The greatest challenge faced by the core group was trying to find a middle ground between those who think that PC is the relief of all suffering and those who believe that PC describes the care of those with a very limited remaining life span.

              Effects of person-centred and integrated chronic heart failure and palliative home care. PREFER: a randomized controlled study.

              Kurt Boman, Kurt Boman (2014)
              We evaluated the outcome of person-centred and integrated Palliative advanced home caRE and heart FailurE caRe (PREFER) with regard to patient symptoms, health-related quality of life (HQRL), and hospitalizations compared with usual care. From January 2011 to October 2012, 36 (26 males, 10 females, mean age 81.9 years) patients with chronic heart failure (NYHA class III-IV) were randomized to PREFER and 36 (25 males, 11 females, mean age 76.6 years) to the control group at a single centre. Prospective assessments were made at 1, 3, and 6 months using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale, Euro Qol, Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire, and rehospitalizations. Between-group analysis revealed that patients receiving PREFER had improved HRQL compared with controls (57.6 ± 19.2 vs. 48.5 ± 24.4, age-adjusted P-value = 0.05). Within-group analysis revealed a 26% improvement in the PREFER group for HRQL (P = 0.046) compared with 3% (P = 0.82) in the control group. Nausea was improved in the PREFER group (2.4 ± 2.7 vs. 1.7 ± 1.7, P = 0.02), and total symptom burden, self-efficacy, and quality of life improved by 18% (P = 0.035), 17% (P = 0.041), and 24% (P = 0.047), respectively. NYHA class improved in 11 of the 28 (39%) PREFER patients compared with 3 of the 29 (10%) control patients (P = 0.015). Fifteen rehospitalizations (103 days) occurred in the PREFER group, compared with 53 (305 days) in the control group. Person-centred care combined with active heart failure and palliative care at home has the potential to improve quality of life and morbidity substantially in patients with severe chronic heart failure.
