An educational program significantly reduced emotional and cognitive barriers in hospice clinicians, improving their self-efficacy and professional quality of life in bereavement care.

Area of Science:

  • Palliative Care
  • Clinical Psychology
  • Healthcare Education

Background:

  • Clinicians in hospice care encounter personal barriers that hinder effective bereavement care.
  • There is a need for targeted educational interventions to address these barriers and enhance clinician support.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of an educational bereavement program on emotional and cognitive barriers.
  • To assess changes in self-efficacy and professional quality of life among hospice clinicians.

Main Methods:

  • A pretest-posttest design was used with 194 hospice clinicians.
  • Participants completed a 12-hour workshop involving lectures, role-play, and group discussions.
  • Measurements of barriers, self-efficacy, and quality of life were taken pre-program, post-program, and at 3-month follow-up.

Main Results:

  • The program significantly decreased negative emotional barriers, lack of ability, belief in avoidance, outcome expectancy, and burnout.
  • Clinicians demonstrated significant increases in self-efficacy and compassion satisfaction post-intervention.
  • These positive effects were sustained at the 3-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • The educational program effectively addressed personal barriers to bereavement care for hospice clinicians.
  • Interactive methods like role-play and group discussion are crucial for reducing barriers and enhancing self-efficacy.
  • The findings support the integration of such programs into hospice care training.
