BACKGROUND The EAPC White Paper addresses the issue of spiritual care education for all palliative care professionals. It is to guide health care professionals involved in teaching or training of palliative care and spiritual care; stakeholders, leaders and decision makers responsible for training and education; as well as national and local curricula development groups. METHODS Early in 2018, preliminary draft paper was written by members of the European Association for Palliative Care (EAPC) spiritual care reference group inviting comment on the four core elements of spiritual care education as outlined by Gamondi et al. (2013) in their paper on palliative care core competencies. The preliminary draft paper was circulated to experts from the EAPC spiritual care reference group for feedback. At the second stage feedback was incorporated into a second draft paper and experts and representatives of national palliative care organizations were invited to provide feedback and suggest revisions. The final version incorporated the subsequent criticism and as a result, the Gamondi framework was explored and critically revised leading to updated suggestions for spiritual care education in palliative care. RESULTS The EAPC white paper points out the importance of spiritual care as an integral part of palliative care and suggests incorporating it accordingly into educational activities and training models in palliative care. The revised spiritual care education competencies for all palliative care providers are accompanied by the best practice models and research evidence, at the same time being sensitive towards different development stages of the palliative care services across the European region. CONCLUSIONS Better education can help the healthcare practitioner to avoid being distracted by their own fears, prejudices, and restraints and attend to the patient and his/her family. This EAPC white paper encourages and facilitates high quality, multi-disciplinary, academically and financially accessible spiritual care education to all palliative care staff.

EAPC 关于姑息治疗中精神护理多学科教育的白皮书。

背景 EAPC 白皮书解决了所有姑息治疗专业人员的精神护理教育问题。它旨在指导参与姑息治疗和精神护理教学或培训的卫生保健专业人员；负责培训和教育的利益相关者、领导者和决策者；以及国家和地方课程开发小组。方法 2018 年初，欧洲姑息治疗协会 (EAPC) 精神护理参考小组的成员撰写了初步草案，邀请对 Gamondi 等人概述的精神护理教育的四个核心要素发表评论。(2013) 在他们关于姑息治疗核心能力的论文中。初步草案已分发给 EAPC 精神关怀参考小组的专家征求反馈。在第二阶段，反馈意见被纳入第二稿文件，并邀请国家姑息治疗组织的专家和代表提供反馈意见并提出修改建议。最终版本吸收了随后的批评，因此对 Gamondi 框架进行了探索和严格修订，从而为姑息治疗中的精神护理教育提出了更新的建议。结果 EAPC 白皮书指出了精神护理作为姑息治疗不可分割的一部分的重要性，并建议将其相应地纳入姑息治疗的教育活动和培训模式中。修订后的所有姑息治疗提供者的精神护理教育能力均附有最佳实践模型和研究证据，同时对整个欧洲地区姑息治疗服务的不同发展阶段保持敏感。结论 更好的教育可以帮助医疗保健从业者避免因自己的恐惧、偏见和限制而分心，并照顾患者及其家人。本 EAPC 白皮书鼓励并促进向所有姑息护理人员提供高质量、多学科、学术上和经济上可行的精神护理教育。
