Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Healthcare Disparities
  • Palliative Care Research

Background:

  • Palliative care is a public health concern requiring earlier integration into healthcare systems.
  • Limited public awareness and misconceptions hinder timely access to palliative care services.
  • Addressing these barriers is crucial for improving palliative care delivery and accessibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine public awareness, knowledge, and perceptions of palliative care.
  • To identify strategies for raising awareness and overcoming barriers within a public health framework.
  • To inform the development of public education programs for palliative care.

Main Methods:

  • An explanatory sequential mixed methods study combining a cross-sectional survey and interviews.
  • Survey data (N=1201) analyzed using factor analysis and non-parametric statistics.
  • Qualitative interview data (N=25) analyzed using thematic analysis.

Main Results:

  • Only 20.1% of participants accurately understood palliative care; awareness varied by demographics.
  • Common misconceptions include palliative care being solely for the last 6 months of life (55.4%) and its role in psychological issues (42.2%).
  • Societal taboos surrounding end-of-life discussions limit exposure and understanding, restricting access.

Conclusions:

  • Knowledge gaps and misconceptions, fueled by limited experience and taboo conversations, deter early access to palliative care.
  • Public education initiatives must go beyond awareness, providing clear messages via a public health approach.
  • Effective public education can shift attitudes, improve access, and enhance end-of-life outcomes.
