Abstract:
Objectives:To clarify effectiveness of educational workshop in advance care planning (ACP) and clinical ethics based on education for implementing end-of-life discussion (E-FIELD) program. Methods:Pre-post questionnaire survey. We held workshop in ACP and clinical ethics based on E-FIELD program. We measured participant’s knowledge of ACP and difficulties of End-of-Life (EOL) discussion before and after the workshop. Results:In 37 participants, 34 participants finished the course. Improvement of knowledge of ACP and clinical ethics in post workshop survey was statistically significant (pre. 18.1 v.s. post 23.9, p<0.001, paired t test). In terms of difficulties of EOL discussion, 7 items in all 13 items questionnaire were improved significantly in post workshop survey (p<0.05, Wilcoxon rank sum test). Conclusion:Educational workshop in ACP and clinical ethics based on E-FIELD program may improve knowledge of ACP and reduce difficulties of EOL discussion.
