ABSTRACT
Background:
In Japan, a nation-wide education program for primary palliative care (the Palliative care Emphasis program on symptom management and Assessment for Continuous medical Education PEACE) was established in 2008. In 2018, this program was revised from a two-day workshop to a hybrid program combining e-learning with a one-day workshop. This study aimed to assess the changes in participant knowledge and difficulties after having completed the revised education program.Methods:
The subjects of this study were all participants who completed the revised program from April 2018 to March 2019. We conducted a pre-post survey via the e-learning system, and measured scores on the palliative care knowledge questionnaire to evaluate PEACE (PEACE-Q) and Palliative Care Difficulties Scale (PCDS).Results:
A total of 11,124 participants completed the revised program from June 2018 to March 2019. Participants’ knowledge improved significantly according to the PEACE-Q with a total score of 24.1 and 30.0 (p<0.0001), and difficulties diminished as indicated by the PCDS with a total score of 45.2 and 39.2 (p<0.0001). Participants in different professions obtained similar results.Conclusion:
Participants’ knowledge and difficulties improved after the revised nationwide primary palliative care education program. Similar results were obtained by participants in different professions.
