Palliative Care in Higher Education Institutions: A Promising Challenge

“…The literature highlights the need for educational incentives to promote adequate PC prac-tice to meet the needs of eligible patients by health professionals in Brazil (Belfor et al, 2018;Brito et al, 2020;Caldas et al, 2018;Correia et al, 2018). However, health professionals tend to have a curative perception of illnesses, and a multidisciplinary approach prioritizing training in this area is required to handle patients with life-threatening and incurable chronic diseases effectively (WHO, 2020;Albuquerque et al, 2020;Brito et al, 2020;Caldas et al, 2016;Conceição et al, 2019;Correia et al, 2020;Junior et al, 2019).…”

“…Terminal illness is a significant challenge that requires reflection on the training of health professionals, especially doctors who care for older adults (Gryscheck et al,2012;Cal (das et al, 2012), as well as the sick and family members/ caregivers (Jorge et al, 2018). The particularities of teaching care for older adults (Jorge et al, 2018) and knowledge of palliative care and end-of-life among teachers (Albuquerque et al, 2020;Brito et al, 2020;Correia et al, 2018;Correia et al, 2020;Freitas, 2017;Lemos et al, 2017;Marques et al, 2019;Malta et al, 2018;Mateus et al, 2019;Orth et al, 2019;Pereira et al, 2019;Sousa et al, 2020) can facilitate essential and thought-provoking discussions in higher education and provide practical strategies to expand educational programs, articulating health benefits, end-of-life care, and quality of life for patients and family members/ caregivers.…”

“…The Ministry of Education has institutionalized new national curriculum guidelines to address these changes. Moreover, the changes in the epidemiological landscape have necessitated adjustments to the organization, development, and assessment of medical degrees in Brazil (Albuquerque et al, 2020;Pereira et al, 2019;Melo et al, 2019;Pineli et al, 2016).…”
