Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop the basic curriculum for the nurses who work at hospice and palliative care settings.
Methods: Seven curricula of hospice and palliative care for the nurses in Korea and other countries were reviewed, and Education Need for hospice and palliative care was surveyed from 162 nurses by mailing the questionnaires to hospice palliative care settings.
Results: 1. The curricula of hospice and palliative care for the nurses in Korea and other countries in common include ’understanding of hospice and palliative care’, ’understanding of life and death’, ’pain and symptom management for person with terminal disease’, ’on-the-spot study and practical training’, ’management of hospice and palliative ward’, ’hospice and palliative care at home’, ’physical assessment’, ’therapeutic communication skills’, ’children’s hospice’, ’administration and management of hospice and palliative care’, ’interdisciplinary team of hospice and palliative care’, ’ethics and laws in hospice and palliative care’, ’psychological, social and spiritual care’, ’care of the dying’, ’bereavement care’, etc. 2. The scores above 3.5 were marked for 34 items in Education Need Survey. The highest scores were given in the order for the items ’understanding of death and dying’, ’attitude and response to death and dying’, ’understanding and assessment of pain’ etc. respondents marked that they have been trained for ’pain and symptom management’, ’ethics and laws in hospice and palliative care’, ’building the system for cooperation and publicity activities in hospice’ etc. 3. The basic curriculum of hospice and palliative care for the nurses requires 78 studying hours for 17 subjects, comprising 48 hours of theory education and 30 hours of practical training. The education methods are lectures, discussions, and case studies.
Conclusion: The effects of developed basic curriculum should be evaluated after educating nurses. It is necessary to develop the standard curriculum and regularly update it based on the result of Education Need Survey for actively working nurses in hospice and palliative care settings.
