  • Global Health
  • Medical Education
  • Palliative Care

Background:

  • Palliative care (PC) is crucial for enhancing quality of life in serious illnesses.
  • Access to PC services is limited, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
  • There is a growing demand for PC in LMICs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of a one-day PC training initiative.
  • To evaluate changes in healthcare professionals' PC competencies in Uganda.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of pre- and post-course self-assessments.
  • Collection and analysis of qualitative feedback.
  • Administration of participant satisfaction surveys.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in self-assessed PC competencies were observed.
  • High levels of participant satisfaction with the training course.
  • Positive participant feedback on the training's relevance and effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • Investing in PC education is vital for meeting the demand in LMICs.
  • PC training initiatives can effectively bridge the gap in PC service access.
  • Such programs have the potential to improve outcomes for patients with life-threatening illnesses.
