ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The aim of this research was to explore nurses' knowledge of and attitudes toward pediatric palliative care (PPC) in Korea.METHODS:
A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. A total of 196 participants were recruited from the ELNEC-PPC course held in Seoul, Korea. All participants completed a 20-item survey questionnaire which assessed knowledge of and attitudes toward PPC using a 7-point Likert scale.RESULTS:
Nurses' knowledge of PPC correlated with their educational level and work experience in the pediatric unit and hospice care unit. The work experience in the pediatric unit, career length in PPC and completion of palliative education course made differences in the attitudes toward PPC. Married nurses scored significantly higher on the parental rights in determining palliative care service for their child, and nurses with master's degree or higher showed a higher level of understanding of and attitudes toward the differences between PPC and adult palliative care.CONCLUSION:
The factors influencing nurses' knowledge of and attitudes toward PPC need be considered to develop a pediatric palliative training program.
