  • 목적 : 연구의 목적은 호스피스 완화의료의 표준화를 위한 기초자료로서 국내 호스피스 완화의료 서비스를 제공하는 의료기관 및 비의료기관의 서비스 대상자, 시설 인력구성, 서비스 내용 및 재정적 문제 등 실태를 파악하는 것이다. 방법 : 설문조사는 2001년 7월부터 10월까지 이루어졌으며, 연구자들이 기존 연구를 참조하여 개발한 총 39항목의 설문지를 반송봉투를 넣어 우편으로 발송하여 조사하였다. 회신이 되었지만 내용을 재확인할 필요가 있는 부분과 회신이 안된 기관은 전화를 통해 설문을 완성하였다. 64개 기관이 설문에 응답하였다. 결과 : 국내에는 호스피스 완화의료 서비스를 제공하는 의료기관이 40개, 비의료기관이 24개 있었다. 의료기관 중 11개 기관은 병원연계 및 독립 또는 별도병동이 었고, 비의료기관 중 6개는 입원이 가능한 독립시설에서 호스피스 완화의료서비스를 제공하고 있었다. 호스피스 완화의료 서비스를 받는 대상자 대부분은 암환자였지만 일부는 말기 질환이 아닌 경우도 포함되어 있었다. 전체 64개 호스피스 완화의료 서비스 기관 중 24개만이 의사, 간호사, 사회복지사 및 성직자가 있었다. 가정호스피스 기관으로서 의뢰체계가 있는 경우는 의료기관 89.7%, 비의료기관 73.7% 였다. 24시간 서비스를 제공하는 기관은 의료기관 65.0%, 비의료기관 37.5%였다. 가족을 위한 휴식공간은 병원중심 호스피스완화의료 프로그램의 50%에서 있었다. 전체 호스피스 완화의료기관의 73.9%는 재정적인 문제가 있었으며, 610%는 정부로부터의 재정적인 지원이 필요하다고 응답하였다. 결론 : 64개 호스피스완화의료 프로그램에서 서비스를 제공하고 있지만 아직도 인력, 서비스의 질 및 시설 측면에서는 문제점이 있었다. 말기환자를 위한 서비스의 질을 향상시키고 의료자원의 효율적인 이용을 촉진하기 위해 호스피스 완화의료 서비스의 표준화와 제도화가 필요하다.

  • Objectives: This study was conducted to analyze the symptoms and care needs of home-based hospice palliative patients in Busan and to provide a basic reference for developing practical guidelines for their care. Methods: By examining the registration cards of 409 hospice palliative patients, who were registered in community health centers in Busan as of 2016, this study retrospectively analyzed their characteristics, symptoms and care needs. Results: The average age was 70.6 years, 59.4% were receiving medical benefits, and 48.4% lived alone. As per the data obtained from the Palliative Performance Scale, many were able to mobile. Fatigue was the most severe and depression and anxiety were reported together, and their care needs were also high. Most subjects reported mild or low pain, but care needs were high. Furthermore, the medical benefits group showed a high level of symptoms and care needs across areas. Conclusions: To help subjects to live in their homes for as long as possible, it is necessary to identify symptoms and care needs and provide services in accordance with their severity and situation. Thus, it is necessary to develop practical guidelines for standardized community hospice palliative care services.

  • This article underscores the importance of integrating comprehensive palliative care for noncancer patients who are undergoing hemodialysis, with an emphasis on the aging populations in Asian nations such as Taiwan, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and China. As the global demographic landscape shifts towards an aging society and healthcare continues to advance, a marked increase has been observed in patients undergoing hemodialysis who require palliative care. This necessitates an immediate paradigm shift to incorporate this care, addressing the intricate physical, psychosocial, and spiritual challenges faced by these individuals and their families. Numerous challenges impede the provision of effective palliative care, including difficulties in prognosis, delayed referrals, cultural misconceptions, lack of clinician confidence, and insufficient collaboration among healthcare professionals. The article proposes potential solutions, such as targeted training for clinicians, the use of telemedicine to facilitate shared decision-making, and the introduction of time-limited trials for dialysis to overcome these obstacles. The integration of palliative care into routine renal treatment and the promotion of transparent communication among healthcare professionals represent key strategies to enhance the quality of life and end-of-life care for people on hemodialysis. By embracing innovative strategies and fostering collaboration, healthcare providers can deliver more patient-centered, holistic care that meets the complex needs of seriously ill patients within an aging population undergoing hemodialysis.

  • Purpose: This study investigated palliative care physicians' attitudes regarding social issues related to opioid use. Methods: An email survey was sent to 674 physicians who were members of the Korean Society for Hospice and Palliative Care (KSHPC). Results: Data from 66 physicians were analyzed (response rate, 9.8%). About 70% of participants stated that their prescribing patterns were not influenced by social issues related to opioid use, and 90% of participants thought that additional regulations should be limited to non-cancer pain. Under the current circumstances, pain education for physicians is urgently needed, as well as increased awareness among the public. Half of the respondents identified the KSHPC as the primary organization responsible for providing pain education. Conclusion: Palliative care physicians' prescribing patterns were not influenced by social issues related to opioid use, and these issues also should not affect cancer pain control.

  • Background: Few nurses are trained in palliative care for long-term care in Korea. The End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium (ELNEC)-Geriatric training program improves nurses' ability to promote palliative care for the elderly. Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate nurses' satisfaction and knowledge following the attendance at the ELNEC-Geriatric curriculum on nurses' knowledge of palliative care. Methods: Nine ELNEC-Geriatric modules were presented to 203 interdisciplinary professionals on July 1 and 3, 2010, in Seoul, South Korea. The Palliative care quiz for nursing (PCQN) was used to evaluate nurses' knowledge. Of all the participants, 128 nurses were completed the questionnaire. Of these nurses, 45.2% were staff nurses and 73.4% were hospital nurses. Results: Approximately eight nine percent of the nurses reported previous experience in caring for dying patients and attending various hospice palliative care training programs. Overall program satisfaction of the participants was 4.03 on a 5-point scale, and their mean of the total PCQN score was 12.75 out of 20 after participating in ELNEC-Geriatric course, which was a significant improvement (p=.022) from the pretest. Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrate that ELNEC-Geriatric curriculum was successfully implemented and significantly contributed to increasing the nurses' knowledge for palliative care in long-term care in Korea.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to describe nurses' perceived needs and barriers to pediatric palliative care (PPC). Methods: Mixed methods with an embedded design were applied. An online survey was conducted for nurses who participated in the End-of-Life Nursing Education Consortium- Pediatric Palliative Care (ELNEC-PPC) train-the-trainer program, of whom 63 responded. Quantitative data were collected with a survey questionnaire developed through the Delphi method. The 47 items for needs and 15 items for barriers to PPC were analyzed with descriptive statistics. Qualitative data were collected through open-ended questions and analyzed with topic modeling techniques. Results: The mean scores of most subdomains of the PPC needs were 3.5 or higher out of 4, and those of PPC barriers ranged from 3.22 to 3.56, indicating the items in the questionnaire developed in this study properly reflect each factor. The needs for PPC were divided into 4 categories: "children and adolescents," "families," "PPC management system," and "community-based PPC." Meanwhile, PPC barriers were divided into 3 categories: "healthcare delivery system," "healthcare provider," and "client." The keywords derived from the topic modeling were perception, palliative, children, and education for necessities and lack, perception, medical care, professional care providers, service, and system for barriers to PPC. Conclusion: In this study, by using mixed-methods, items of nurses' perceived needs and barriers to PPC were identified, categorized, and weighted, and their meanings were explored. For the stable establishment of PPC, the priority should be given to improving perceptions of PPC, establishing an appropriate system, and training professional care providers.
