BackgroundPalliative care is nowadays essential in nursing care, due to the increasing number of patients who require attention in final stages of their life.Nurses need to acquire specific knowledge and abilities to provide quality palliative care. Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses is a questionnaire that evaluates their basic knowledge about palliative care.The Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses (PCQN) is useful to evaluate basic knowledge about palliative care, but its adaptation into the Spanish language and the analysis of its effectiveness and utility for Spanish culture is lacking.PurposeTo report the adaptation into the Spanish language and the psychometric analysis of the Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses.MethodThe Palliative Care Quiz for Nurses-Spanish Version (PCQN-SV) was obtained from a process including translation, back-translation, comparison with versions in other languages, revision by experts, and pilot study. Content validity and reliability of questionnaire were analyzed. Difficulty and discrimination indexes of each item were also calculated according to Item Response Theory (IRT).FindingsAdequate internal consistency was found (S-CVI = 0.83); Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.67 and KR-20 test result of 0,72 reflected the reliability of PCQN-SV. The questionnaire had a global difficulty index of 0,55, with six items which could be considered as difficult or very difficult, and five items with could be considered easy or very easy. The discrimination indexes of the 20 items, show us that eight items are good or very good while six items are bad to discriminate between good and bad respondents.DiscussionAlthough in shows internal consistency, reliability and difficulty indexes similar to those obtained by versions of PCQN in other languages, a reformulation of the items with lowest content validity or discrimination indexes and those showing difficulties with their comprehension is an aspect to take into account in order to improve the PCQN-SV.ConclusionThe PCQN-SV is a useful Spanish language instrument for measuring Spanish nurses’ knowledge in palliative care and it is adequate to establish international comparisons.

“…Consistently, students seemed to believe that burnout is inevitable for palliative care professionals, that loss of distant relationships is easier to deal with, or that remaining at the bedside until death occurs is absolutely crucial and expected for family members. Regarding the latter, while most similar studies yielded opposite responses (Carroll et al, 2005;Brajtman et al, 2007;Al Qadire, 2014;Khraisat, Hamdan and Ghazzawwi, 2017), studies with Korean (Kim et al, 2012)and Spanish(Chover-Sierra, Martínez-Sabater and Lapeña-Moñux, 2017) nurses did reflect similar opinions. Cultural/religious factors that shape the society's expectations and fundamental role of the family in the care of the dying patient may have played a role (Kim et al, 2012).…”

Targeting unhelpful assumptions around palliative care, death and dying, and its impact on patients, families, and health professionals should be a priority in undergraduate nursing education.…”

Background: Ensuring adequate knowledge about palliative care and positive attitudes towards death and dying are crucial educational aspects when preparing undergraduate nursing students to respond effectively to the complexities of care for people affected by a progressive, life-limiting illness. In undergraduate nursing education in Greece, the level of students' attained knowledge and developed attitudes towards palliative and end-of-life care remain unknown. Purpose: To investigate undergraduate nursing students' knowledge about palliative care and attitudes towards death and end-of-life care, and explore demographic and academic factors as potential moderators of student knowledge and attitudes. Methods: We conducted a descriptive, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey. We recruited 2 nd , 3 rd and 4 th year undergraduate nursing students from the country's two University Faculties. Participants completed a demographic form, the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing (PCQN), and the Frommelt Attitudes Towards Care of the Dying (FATCOD) questionnaire. Results: The final sample was 529 students (response rate=87.6%). Mean total PCQN scores revealed low levels of knowledge. Knowledge about pain/symptom management and psychosocial/spiritual care was insufficient. Mean total FATCOD scores indicated positive, liberal and supportive attitudes towards end-of-life care, with 60% of respondents keen to care for a dying person and their family. We noted less positive attitudes mainly in relation to student comfort with the care of a dying person and his/her imminent death. Academic parameters (year of study) and student demographic characteristics (older age) were the most significant moderators of both knowledge and attitudes. Greater knowledge about palliative care was a relatively weak, yet significant, predictor of more liberal attitudes towards care of the dying. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that structured courses in palliative care can be a core part of undergraduate nursing education. Specific attention could be given to such areas patient-health professional communication, misconceptions and biases towards death and dying, and comfort in caring for the dying in order to prepare student nurses to psychologically deal with the sensitive and challenging process of death and dying.

“…trainers in Core course, 203 trainers in Geriatric course, and 191 trainers in Pediatric Palliative Care were certified as ELNEC trainers. The successful implementation of these programs greatly helped increasing the nurse's knowledge, and the dissemination led to educating and training other nurses and health professionals to improve the quality of end-of-life care not only for terminal cancer patients but also for all suffering from life-threatening illness (5,19,20).…”

Hospice Palliative Care in South Korea: Past, Present, and Future

Hospice palliative care (HPC) in Korea has developed steadily since its introduction in 1965. Currently, HPC in Korea is targeted only towards terminal cancer patients and their families, and the national health insurance scheme covers only inpatient hospice care for said patients. In recent years, healthcare professionals and policy makers began to recognize the need for HPC services in diverse settings including outside hospital boundaries, and for all terminally-ill patients. A law on HPC passed in January 2016 allows terminally-ill patients to refuse life-sustaining treatments, and will likely facilitate further development of HPC services. It is critical for the government and all interested parties in the medical, academic and social sectors to collaborate to ensure its success once it takes effect in 2017. This article will briefly review the half-century history of HPC in Korea, and discuss how to prepare for and cope with death and, thereby, improve the quality of death.
