- Interprofessional Collaboration
Background:
- Palliative care (PC) aligns with nursing's holistic philosophy, aiming to improve patient and family quality of life.
- Nurses are well-positioned to lead PC delivery for patients with life-threatening diagnoses.
- Collaborative practice between staff and advanced practice nurses is key to optimal PC.
Purpose of the Study:
- To establish a new standard for nursing education emphasizing intradisciplinary care.
- To address the gap in palliative care education for nursing students.
- To prepare nurses for collaborative PC delivery.
Main Methods:
