A growing population of persons with a serious illness will place higher demands on health care professionals to provide the palliative care needed. A Palliative Care Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) Externship was developed and implemented as a novel way to increase access to palliative care with the potential to be replicated in multiple locations. Two APRN cohorts with a total of 10 APRNs participated in a 1-week educational program, including both classroom and clinical experiences, in 1 such site. The effectiveness of the program was evaluated by participants through an electronic survey and debriefings. Active learning experiences included role play, case studies, and clinical observation and were rated as highly valuable by participants. An important theme concerning the validation of current practice was identified. Future externship programs should be refined by incorporating participant feedback and continuing to use a variety of techniques to engage learners with diverse learning styles.
随着患有重病的人数不断增加,人们对医疗保健专业人员提供所需的姑息治疗的要求也越来越高。姑息治疗高级实践注册护士(APRN)实习计划应运而生,旨在为更多人提供姑息治疗,并有可能在多个地点复制。两个 APRN 队列共有 10 名 APRN 在一个地点参加了为期一周的教育计划,包括课堂和临床经验。通过电子调查和汇报,参与者评估了该计划的有效性。主动学习体验包括角色扮演、案例研究和临床观察,参与者认为这些体验非常有价值。参与者提出了一个关于验证当前实践的重要主题。未来的实习计划应通过纳入参与者的反馈和继续使用各种技术来吸引具有不同学习风格的学习者来进行完善。
