Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Palliative Care
  • Intensive Care Medicine

Background:

  • Bedside nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) are crucial for palliative care integration.
  • Nurses report insufficient palliative care education, hindering effective integration.
  • Professional development is needed to equip ICU nurses with essential palliative care skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate a palliative care professional development program tailored for ICU bedside nurses.
  • To enhance nurses' palliative care communication competencies and practical application.
  • To assess the impact of structured coaching on identifying and addressing patient palliative care needs.

Main Methods:

  • A train-the-trainer program was delivered to palliative care advanced practice nurses and educators across 5 academic medical centers.
  • Mentoring supported the implementation of communication workshops and structured coaching rounds in ICUs over 2 years.
  • Nurses' self-reported communication skills and identification of palliative care needs during coaching were primary outcome measures.

Main Results:

  • 428 bedside nurses were trained across 5 centers, with each center conducting at least 6 workshops.
  • Post-workshop surveys showed significant improvement in nurses' self-rated palliative care communication skills for 15 tasks.
  • In 82% of 1110 discussed patients, nurses identified palliative care needs and developed action plans during monthly coaching rounds.

Conclusions:

  • Palliative care communication skills training workshops effectively enhanced nurses' perceived abilities.
  • Structured coaching rounds facilitated nurses in identifying and addressing critical palliative care needs for ICU patients.
  • The program demonstrated a positive impact on nursing practice in integrating palliative care within the ICU setting.
