Abstract:
The provision of hospice care can improve the quality of life for terminal patients. Currently the measurement tools for knowledge, attitudes and practices(KAP)of hospice care providers have been developed and widely used internationally. This article reviews the measurement scales and relevant factors for KAP of hospice care to provide reference for further studies. The databases of CNKI, Wanfang data, PubMed, Web of Science databases, Google and Baidu search engines were systematically searched. According to the retrieval strategy, 42 literatures were finally included for analysis. The development of measurement scales and influencing factors about KAP of medical staff were reviewed from the included studies. It appeared some mature scales have been applied in different extent, or available for interpretation into different language versions. Most of researches adopted quantitative tools to measure medical staff's KAP on hospice care. The current researches conducted in China mainland showed a change on target population from nurses to specialized doctors and from a single group to multidisciplinary medical team. In the future, it would be more focusing on multidisciplinary team mainly comprised of general practitioners, nurses and social workers. Till recently, there is little literature evidence for study of the characteristics of localization.
