Summary
Most nurse practitioner (NP) programs lack formal end-of-life (EOL) education, with many recently deciding to implement it. Barriers exist to integrating essential EOL training for future NPs.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Palliative Care
- Healthcare Professional Training
Background:
- Nurse practitioners (NPs) provide care for patients with life-threatening illnesses and at the end-of-life (EOL).
- NP programs must adequately prepare graduates for EOL care responsibilities.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the current state of end-of-life (EOL) education within US nurse practitioner (NP) programs.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional, observational study was conducted.
- Data included all US NP programs accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education as of December 2023.
Main Results:
- 63% of surveyed NP programs lacked a formal EOL curriculum or were recently implementing one.
- Program directors identified significant barriers to integrating comprehensive EOL education.
Conclusions:
- Current integration of EOL training in NP education is limited.
- Opportunities exist to enhance NP curricula to meet essential EOL care competencies.
