Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Palliative Care Research
  • Health Policy

Background:

  • Palliative care improves quality of life and reduces medical costs.
  • Misconceptions linking palliative care with euthanasia hinder timely and appropriate patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To quantify misconceptions between palliative care and euthanasia among Thai general practitioners.
  • To explore associations between these misconceptions and practitioners' knowledge, attitudes, and experience.
  • To assess how misconceptions affect confidence in palliative care practice and referrals.

Main Methods:

  • An observational cross-sectional study involving 144 general practitioners in Thailand.
  • Chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression were used to analyze data.
  • Key variables included knowledge, attitudes, experience, and confidence in palliative care.

Main Results:

  • Approximately 41% of general practitioners exhibited misconceptions about palliative care and euthanasia.
  • Higher levels of medical knowledge correlated with reduced misconceptions (p=0.01).
  • A weak association was found between absence of misconceptions and increased confidence in practicing palliative care (aOR=1.51, p=0.07).

Conclusions:

  • High rates of misconception among young Thai physicians may undermine their confidence in providing palliative care.
  • Targeted training for medical students and practitioners is crucial to reduce these misconceptions.
  • Mitigating misconceptions can enhance the utilization of palliative care services in Thailand.
