To explore general practitioners' (GPs') and nurses' self assessment of professional education, competency and educational needs in palliative care.
All 897 registered GPs and all 933 registered home care nurses in the Province of Styria/Austria were sent postal questionnaires to evaluate their professional training in (i) pain control and symptom management, (ii) handling psychosocial needs and (iii) ability to cope with work-related distress.
61.8% of 546 evaluable respondents felt not at all or not sufficiently prepared for palliative care by their professional education (GPs: 70%, nurses: 50.4%). GPs rated the competency of their professional guild significantly higher and their educational needs significantly lower than nurses (p<0.01). Both, GPs and nurses emphasised a great need for education in the area of neuropsychiatric symptom management.
Our results provide a detailed analysis of needs and may help to target goals for training seminars in palliative care.
探讨全科医生(GPs)和护士对姑息治疗专业教育、能力及教育需求的自我评估。
向奥地利施蒂利亚州的所有897名注册全科医生和933名注册家庭护理护士邮寄问卷调查,以评估他们在(i)疼痛控制和症状管理、(ii)处理心理社会需求以及(iii)应对工作相关困扰方面的专业培训情况。
在546名可评估的受访者中,61.8%的人认为他们的专业教育对姑息治疗的准备程度完全不够或不够充分(全科医生:70%,护士:50.4%)。全科医生对其专业协会能力的评价显著高于护士,而其教育需求显著低于护士(p<0.01)。全科医生和护士都强调在神经精神症状管理领域有很大的教育需求。
我们的结果对需求进行了详细分析,可能有助于确定姑息治疗培训研讨会的目标。
