In Israel, palliative care (PC) services are limited. This study assessed Israeli nurses' perceived competencies and educational needs in providing PC.
Online administration of the End-of-Life Professional Caregiver Survey (EPCS).
SETTING/SUBJECTS: Oncology and PC nurses were identified through the Israel Ministry of Health and Oncology Nurses' Society.
Demographic and practice data were analysed using analysis of variance tests to determine differences between nurse characteristics by EPCS domains.
The sample (n=105) was 94% female, had a mean age of 48 years (SD=10.5) and 83% were Jewish Israeli. Thirty-nine percent reported PC training in nursing school and 42% felt their workplace provided little to no PC education and resources to nurses. Those with advanced degrees and those who received post-graduate PC training had higher mean scores across EPCS domains (p<0.05 for all).
Nursing education and workplace support in PC for Israeli nurses are limited. It is hoped that these findings may inform future PC nursing education and policy in Israel.
在以色列，姑息治疗（PC）服务有限。本研究评估了以色列护士在提供姑息治疗方面的感知能力和教育需求。
通过在线方式进行临终专业护理人员调查（EPCS）。
设置/对象：通过以色列卫生部和肿瘤护士协会确定肿瘤学和姑息治疗护士。
使用方差分析测试分析人口统计学和实践数据，以确定按EPCS领域划分的护士特征之间的差异。
样本（n = 105）中94%为女性，平均年龄48岁（标准差 = 10.5），83%为以色列犹太裔。39%的人报告在护理学校接受过姑息治疗培训，42%的人认为其工作场所几乎没有为护士提供姑息治疗教育和资源。拥有高级学位的人和接受过研究生姑息治疗培训的人在EPCS各领域的平均得分更高（所有p<0.05）。
以色列护士在姑息治疗方面的护理教育和工作场所支持有限。希望这些研究结果能为以色列未来的姑息治疗护理教育和政策提供参考。
