COVID-19 has highlighted the need for universal palliative care access. Nurses require palliative care education throughout the trajectory of professional training to effectively achieve this vision.
Review of the National Consensus Project Clinical Practice Guidelines for Quality Palliative Care and use of educational exemplars highlight opportunities for improving palliative nursing education in academic and clinical settings.
Consistently applying palliative care principles affects nursing outcomes across myriad domains of person-centered services. All nurses are responsible for delivering primary palliative care, but they cannot practice what they do not know. The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium Project offers evidence-based education for nursing students and practicing nurses nationally and globally.
Equipping both nurses and nursing students with palliative care education is critical to improve the overall quality of health care throughout the continuum during COVID-19 and in the face of future health crises. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2021;52(3):130-135.].
COVID-19 凸显了普及临终关怀服务的必要性。护士需要在整个专业培训过程中接受临终关怀教育,以有效实现这一愿景。
审查国家共识项目《优质临终关怀临床实践指南》,并利用教育范例,突出了在学术和临床环境中改进临终关怀护理教育的机会。
始终如一地应用临终关怀原则会影响到以人为本服务的众多领域中的护理结果。所有护士都有责任提供初级临终关怀,但如果他们不知道,就无法实践。生命末期护理教育联盟项目为全国和全球的护理学生和执业护士提供循证教育。
为护士和护理学生提供临终关怀教育对于在 COVID-19 期间以及在未来的卫生危机中提高整个医疗保健的整体质量至关重要。
