Abstract
BACKGROUND: Research
found that low levels of professional confidence and personal comfort among #neonatalclinicians
regarding #palliativecare may indicate a lack of competence and hesitancy to
offer #neonatalpalliativecare services.
PURPOSE: This
study evaluated the factors associated with the confidence and comfort levels
of #neonatal clinicians providing #neonatalpalliativecare.
METHODS: A
cross-sectional survey and questionnaire were used to investigate the
confidence and comfort levels of neonatal clinicians regarding neonatal
palliative care.
RESULTS: Research subjects included 154 neonatal
clinicians. Clinicians' confidence in providing neonatal palliative care was
significantly impacted by age, marital status, years of professional experience
(p < 0.05),
and prior palliative care training
