Health Professionals' Perceptions of End-of-Life Care in the PICU: Single-Center Survey in Spain
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to explore healthcare professionals' perceptions of end-of-life care in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) and identify unmet needs and barriers. Their survey of 73 staff members revealed generally high quality of care ratings but highlighted significant emotional impacts on staff and deficiencies in support and facilities. Recommendations for improvement included enhanced bereavement follow-up, better architectural design, and structured debriefings to address these issues.
