Abstract:
Palliative care (PC) is essential for improving the quality of life for individuals with serious illnesses, yet access to PC services remains limited, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to assess the impact of a one-day PC training initiative for health care professionals in Uganda. Participants' pre- and post-course self-assessments, qualitative feedback, and satisfaction surveys were analyzed. Significant improvements were observed in participants' self-assessed abilities across various PC competencies. Course satisfaction was high. This study underscores the importance of investing in PC education to address the growing demand for PC in LMICs. The positive impact observed highlights the potential of such initiatives to bridge the gap in access to PC services and improve outcomes for patients facing life-threatening illnesses.
