Overview

Cross-sectional survey assessed palliative care knowledge in nursing homes, indicating significant training gaps.

Key Points

  • Support for palliative care is evident, but knowledge gaps remain among nursing home staff, limiting engagement.
  • 68% of respondents correctly identified palliative care as separate from hospice, though attitudes varied by discipline.
  • A cross-sectional survey involving 398 clinical employees was used to evaluate attitudes, knowledge, and advance care planning engagement.
  • Targeted training for different disciplines is essential to enhance palliative care quality and consistency in nursing homes.
