Most general practitioners (GPs) and nurses feel unprepared for palliative care. Both groups strongly need more education in managing neuropsychiatric symptoms.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care Medicine
  • Medical Education
  • Healthcare Professional Training

Background:

  • Palliative care education is crucial for healthcare professionals.
  • General practitioners (GPs) and nurses play key roles in delivering palliative care.
  • Assessing current educational preparedness is vital for improving training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate self-assessed professional education, competency, and educational needs in palliative care among GPs and nurses.
  • To identify specific areas where GPs and nurses require further training in palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • A postal questionnaire survey was distributed to all registered GPs and home care nurses in Styria, Austria.
  • The survey assessed training in pain/symptom management, psychosocial needs, and coping with work-related distress.

  • Data from 546 respondents were analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 60% of respondents felt insufficiently prepared for palliative care.
    • GPs reported higher competency and lower educational needs than nurses.
    • Both groups identified a significant need for education in neuropsychiatric symptom management.

    Conclusions:

    • The study highlights significant gaps in palliative care education for GPs and nurses.
    • Findings can inform the development of targeted palliative care training programs.
    • Addressing identified educational needs will enhance the quality of palliative care delivery.
