Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: This study examined the knowledge and perception of hospice-palliative care and terminal care stress among pediatric nurses, and the relationships among these variables.
Methods: In this descriptive research study, 154 pediatric nurses who experienced terminal care at least once were surveyed. This study used three scales, including the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing (PCQN), Perception of Hospice-Palliative Care, and Terminal care stress. Data analyses using SPSS 22.0 included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression.
Results: Terminal care stress experienced by the pediatric nurses was significantly related to the perception of hospice-palliative care; the hospice-palliative care education program enhanced the knowledge and perception of hospice-palliative care.
Conclusion: Hospice-palliative care education programs should be developed and provided for pediatric nurses to improve pediatric hospice-palliative care. Additionally, further research on this topic is required because the present results are inconsistent with previous and current researches.
