“…Since palliative care for children has not yet been widely promoted in clinical practice in mainland China, most clinicians in this research have had little experience in this area. The results ( Table 2 ) may imply that inadequate understanding of pediatric palliative care, inadequate support from colleagues, and lack of clarity about the child’s terminal moment may influence clinicians’ misperceptions of palliative care and lead to strong emotional reactions because most clinicians, patients, and families of dying children may be unprepared to face the death of a child [ 4 , 6 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 ].…”

Background: An important first step in enhancing professional palliative care training is to investigate the educational needs of pediatric clinicians in this field. The aims of this research were to analyze the extent of end-of-life care experience of Chinese pediatric clinicians and identify the differing educational needs of physicians and nurses as well as associated impact factors. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive survey via a structural questionnaire was used in this research. Results: In total, 187 clinicians, comprising 52 physicians and 135 nurses, participated in this study. The topics “pain management”, “symptom management”, and “discussing the prognosis with family members” were the most expressed educational needs among both physicians and nurses. Compared to nurses, physicians placed greater emphasis on the importance of “communication” and “pain and symptom management” (p < 0.05). Clinicians with more extensive end-of-life care experience more strongly felt the importance of learning about pain management and communication regarding end-of-life care (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Research showed that the education currently provided to pediatric clinicians does not meet their distinctive needs. Future palliative care education must be a continuing multi-level, interdisciplinary program and different education should be provided to physicians and nurses based on their respective needs.

O envelhecimento populacional e o aumento das doenças crônicas aumentaram a necessidade de cuidados paliativos (CP). Apesar disso, o ensino dos CP na graduação dos cursos da saúde não é suficiente para o aprendizado desse tema entre os alunos. Dessa forma, muitos profissionais se sentem inseguros para lidar com pacientes em fim de vida. Estudos apontam que o ensino teórico e prático é essencial para preparar os estudantes adequadamente. Assim, o objetivo do presente estudo é analisar os aspectos atuais relacionados ao ensino dos cuidados paliativos (CP) nos cursos de graduação na área da saúde, como a percepção e desempenho dos estudantes e as ferramentas de ensino utilizadas. Observou-se que a utilização de vídeos, estudos de caso, aplicativos suportados pela web, dramatizações e simulações online foi importante para aumentar a eficácia da educação e o nível de conhecimento dos estudantes, apontando que estas modalidades são eficazes e devem ser aplicadas de maneira mais ampla pelas universidades.
