Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Palliative Care
  • Global Health

Background:

  • Cancer incidence in the Middle East is projected to double in 10 years, outpacing global trends.
  • Existing cancer diagnosis and treatment advancements necessitate improved palliative care for advanced-stage patients.
  • Significant gaps exist in palliative care services across the Middle East, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess current knowledge, beliefs, barriers, and available resources for palliative care in Middle Eastern countries.
  • To identify specific needs and challenges faced by healthcare professionals and patients regarding palliative care.
  • To inform the development of targeted educational and training initiatives for palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive survey was conducted across 15 Middle Eastern countries.
  • A convenience sample of 776 healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, and allied health staff, participated.
  • The survey focused on a palliative care needs assessment within diverse healthcare settings.

Main Results:

  • Key facilitators for improved palliative care include enhanced pain management services.
  • Major barriers identified are the lack of dedicated palliative care services, insufficient community awareness, inadequate staff training, and limited access to hospice and home-based care.
  • Respondents expressed a need for more training in communication techniques and satisfaction with advance directive discussions was low.

Conclusions:

  • Future palliative care development must integrate community involvement, especially for patients in outlying regions.
  • Promoting palliative care education and certification for healthcare professionals is essential.
  • Establishing and sustaining robust home-based and hospice services is critical to meet patient needs and honor their wishes.
