To evaluate an enrichment training program targeted at home palliative care professionals in terms of its effects and participants' satisfaction. The program had 2 main aims: give voice to professionals' emotional fatigue and promote their personal resources.
One hundred twenty-three home palliative care professionals participated in 12 parallel training courses; each course consisted of four 3-hour meetings led by 2 trainers and involved about 10-15 participants. The program adopted the method and tools typical of the enrichment approach, with the insertion of an art therapy exercise in the central meetings. The topics addressed were the following: emotional awareness in care relationship; the recognition of the needs of the patient, the family, and the professional himself; the inevitability of the death of the patient; and the challenges and resources of the multidisciplinary care team. At the first (T1) and last (T2) meetings, participants filled in a self-report questionnaire assessing work emotional fatigue, empowerment, generativity, and satisfaction with the course.
Participants were highly satisfied with the course. They reported a higher level of work emotional fatigue and a higher perception of personal resources, in terms of empowerment (both individual-oriented and relationship-oriented) and generativity at the end of the program than before.
Results confirm the need to provide home palliative care professionals with trainings in which they can express, share, and deal with personal and professional needs. This course gave voice to professionals' work emotional fatigue and promoted their personal resources, while enhancing collaboration in the multidisciplinary team.
评估一项针对家庭临终关怀专业人员的强化培训计划,评估其效果和参与者的满意度。该计划有两个主要目标:关注专业人员的情绪疲劳,并促进其个人资源。
123 名家庭临终关怀专业人员参加了 12 个平行培训课程;每个课程由 2 名培训师主持的 4 次 3 小时会议组成,每次会议约有 10-15 名参与者。该计划采用了强化方法的方法和工具,在中心会议中插入了艺术治疗练习。讨论的主题包括:护理关系中的情绪意识;识别患者、家庭和专业人员自身的需求;患者死亡的必然性;以及多学科护理团队的挑战和资源。在第一次(T1)和最后一次(T2)会议上,参与者填写了一份自我报告问卷,评估工作情绪疲劳、赋权、生成性和对课程的满意度。
参与者对课程非常满意。他们报告说,在课程结束时,他们的工作情绪疲劳程度更高,个人资源(包括个体导向和关系导向的赋权)和生成性的感知更高。
结果证实了为家庭临终关怀专业人员提供培训的必要性,使他们能够表达、分享和处理个人和专业需求。该课程关注了专业人员的工作情绪疲劳,并促进了他们的个人资源,同时增强了多学科团队的协作。
