  • Purpose: This study examined the knowledge and perception of hospice-palliative care and terminal care stress among pediatric nurses, and the relationships among these variables. Methods: In this descriptive research study, 154 pediatric nurses who experienced terminal care at least once were surveyed. This study used three scales, including the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing (PCQN), Perception of Hospice-Palliative Care, and Terminal care stress. Data analyses using SPSS 22.0 included descriptive statistics, independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple linear regression. Results: Terminal care stress experienced by the pediatric nurses was significantly related to the perception of hospice-palliative care; the hospice-palliative care education program enhanced the knowledge and perception of hospice-palliative care. Conclusion: Hospice-palliative care education programs should be developed and provided for pediatric nurses to improve pediatric hospice-palliative care. Additionally, further research on this topic is required because the present results are inconsistent with previous and current researches.

  • The growth of the aging population in Korea will challenge health and social services. As Korean society changes, the U.S. models of end-of-life care and geriatric care for frail older adults may have increasing relevance for the Korean healthcare system. This article reviews three U.S. models of care for frail older adults: hospice and palliative care, the Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), and the transitional care model. We describe the strengths and limitations of each model and discuss ways in which these models could be adapted for the Korean healthcare system.
