“…Second, Israel is a highly diverse country. On the one hand, Israel belongs to upper income countries with high living standard, access to education and low infant mortality rates (Beider & Goldzweig, 2016 ). On the other hand, the Israeli society remains very traditional, with higher number of children per family, lower age at first marriage, etc.…”

Israel is one of the few countries worldwide with a national policy and defined standards of palliative care (PC); its culture is highly diverse and more traditionally oriented in comparison with Western countries. This study describes the current state of PC in Israel through examination of: (1) its current status, self-image and structural factors; (2) its relation to cultural and political characteristics; and (3) the chances, goals and obstacles of advancing PC in Israel. Face-to-face interviews were conducted at all five public medical faculties in Israel from November 2017 to February 2018. The following findings are reported: (1) definition of palliative care, (2) multidisciplinary approach, (3) special role of nurses, (4) personal perceptions of death, (5) understanding the role of medicine, (6) specialty palliative medicine, (7) religious, spiritual and cultural aspects, (8) political and economic aspects, (9) obstacles and weaknesses, and (10) prospects and goals of palliative care. Participants perceive PC as an integrative healthcare service that should be available to all patients, including children and their families, at any stage of illness. They internalize that PC principles apply regardless of ethnic, cultural, and religious background. Utilizing nurses’ leadership, enhancing multidisciplinary teamwork, and person-centered approach, supports better PC to more people.

“…Israel's public healthcare system, despite of few evident stressors, holds a high ranking (8.8 out of 10) among the OECD countries (Hadad et al, 2013; Even, 2018). The country belongs to upper-income countries with a high living standard, access to education, and low infant mortality rates (Baider and Goldzweig, 2016). At the same time, the Israeli society can be described as an amalgamation of cultures, religions, and people of different origins, including Jewish immigrants from many countries, Muslim Arabs, Christian Arabs, Druze, and Bedouin many of which with traditional cultural values (Baider and Goldzweig, 2016).…”

Providing and teaching PC in such cultural melting pot evidently calls for special attention to cultural safety in PC, which has also been acknowledged (Gamondi et al, 2013; Würth et al, 2018).…”

“The education is a mirror of where palliative care stands in Israel today”: An exploration of palliative care undergraduate education at medical schools in Israel

et al. 2021

Objective Israel serves as a case study for understanding the importance of undergraduate palliative care (PC) education in implementing, developing, and enabling access to palliative care services. This article presents the findings collected from the five medical schools. Method This qualitative study supported by a survey explores and describes the state of undergraduate PC education at medical schools in Israel. The survey included questions on voluntary and mandatory courses, allocation of different course models, teaching methods, time frame, content, institutions involved, and examinations. Semi-structured interviews with teaching faculty were conducted at the same locations. Results Eleven expert interviews and five surveys demonstrate that PC is taught as a mandatory subject at only two out of the five Israeli universities. To enhance PC in Israel, it needs to become a mandatory subject for all undergraduate medical students. To teach communication, cultural safety, and other basic competencies, new interactive teaching forms need to be developed and adapted. In this regard, nationwide cooperation is proposed. An exchange between medical schools and university clinics is seen as beneficial. The new generation of students is open to PC philosophy and multidimensional care provision but resources to support their growth as professionals and people remain limited. Significance of results This study underlines the importance of teaching in PC at medical schools. Undergraduate education is a central measure of PC status and should be used as such worldwide. The improvement of the teaching situation would automatically lead to a better practical implementation for the benefit of people. Medical schools should cooperate, as the formation of expertise exchange across medical schools would automatically lead to better PC education.
