Results Katherine Burton: – What are the given findings? – How was data collected? – Are the findings supported by graphs and charts? – What does the analysis of data state? |
The findings of the article are that there are several educational resources available for educaitng physicians on palliative care, most of these resources are not used in training physicians, and some resources are scalable and inexpensive while others are cost-ly and time consuming. Other findings are that symptom management and communication skills are the two primary competency areas for physicians, interventions need to be accompanied by continuous education, postgraduate education should be competency-based, and that all physicians should be trained on offering palliative care. The article does not support the findings using graphs and charts. | The findings of the article are that several medical students consider palliative medicine to be valuable and support the need for development of a curriculum to equip them with knowledge and skills to care for dying patients. However, the authors note there has been inadequate training on using competency-based curriculum. The authors do not support the findings with graphs and charts. | The findings were that there the residents had inadequate knowledge in resident knowledge and self-efficacy in palliative care based on the competencency -based instrument used in measuring these two aspects. The article supports the findings with graphs and charts. The analysis of the data helps in explaining the majority of variance for the entire set of variables. | The findings are that information on the structure and organization of palliative care in the population. The incorporation of competency-based training for palliative care is adversely affected by several factors for the UK medical schools that include limited leadership, and inadequate resources. Data was collected using an online questionnaire on SurveyMonkey. The analysis of the data states that palliative care training does not have a specific structure, hence, comptency based care is not offered. | The findings were that the emergcy room nurses had moderate competency level of providing palliative care. The research did not find any relationship between education and with competency in the provision of palliative care. The authors support their findings with charts and tables. | The findings of the study were identifying the core competences required for palliative care and subdividing them into six main categories of principles of palliative care, identification and control of symptoms, end-of-life care, ethical and legal issues, psychosocial and spiritual issues, and teamwork. The authors support their findings with tables. | The findings was establishment of 13 thematic areas and 105 competences needed for geriatricans undertaking palliative medicine. The data was collected using questionnaires and conducting a literature review. The analysis of the data states that getricians need to have knowledge of at least 13 thematic areas and obtain 105 competences to effectively perform palliative medicine. | The findings of the study were that development of a Pal Care Power Hour curriculum is effective in fostering a competency-based training experience. Other findings were that the residents prefer real life case discussions over the lecture format. The author does not support the findings with graphs and charts. The analysis of the data state that problem-based learning with interdisciplinary educators has been endorsed as a form of palliative care education. | The findings were that a classromm intervention was not effective in improving knowledge and education on palliative care but a web-based learning program combined with bedside clinical competency evaluation by attending clinical faculty was effective. The data was collected using a questionnaire. | The findings of the study were that most clerkship directors did not specifically evaluate or assess palliative care competences and that there was not structured education or trianing in palliative care during family medicine clerkship. The authors support the findings with graphs or charts. | The authors indentified the essential compeneties necessary for education of palliative care in medical undergraduate courses. These comptencies were divided and subdivided into categories and subcategories.

The conslusion of this review is that Canada has adequate resources for training nurses on undertaking palliative care. The authors do not present any questions for future research. | The study summary is that a curriculum focused on competency development is critical during the entire period of medical education for every medical education in the world. It also found out that an international effort is necessary for developing an integrated comptency-based curricular plan for palliative care. | The instrument developed by the authors demonstrated promising psychometric properties and realiability in probing the aspects of palliative care and help in further evaluation of the most apprpriate palliative care interventions. The article does not provide any questions for future research. | The summary of the study is that organization of palliative care education varies across the medical schools leading to diverse ways of offering palliative care. Some courses on palliative care have limited curricular time and content, limited leadership and limited allocation of resources. The article does not provide questions for future research. | The summary of the study was that nurses working in the emergency room display a moderate level of competency when offering palliative care and that knowledge of palliative care has a positive relationship with competency in the provision of care. The moderate care means that the nurses need to undergo competency-based training to enhance their comptency level | The summary of the study was that the resulting comptences identified would be essential in the development of curricula for physicians and nurses throughout schools in Colombia and other countries. The authors do not present any questions for future research. | The authors’ conclusions were that consensus competency frameworks and a survey of specialists can help in developing general and core competences for medical education of geriatricians.
