BACKGROUND Nurses are involved in providing end-of-life care for end stage individuals and their self-efficacy is one of the key factors bearing on such care. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of palliative care on perceived self-efficacy of the nurses. METHODS This is a quasi-experimental study with pretest-posttest design. Sampling was randomized and included 40 individuals. The intervention consisted of palliative care training for four sessions, each lasting 45 min. Data were collected using demographic and perceived self-efficacy questionnaires completed before and after the intervention. Data were then analyzed by SPSS 16 software using descriptive and inferential statistics. RESULTS The mean age of the participants was 38.6 and their work experience was 14.25 years. The majority of the participants were female (85%) and had a bachelor level of education (92.5%). The findings showed that "perceived self-efficacy", "psychosocial support" and "symptom management" improved significantly after intervention (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Based on the results, palliative care education has the potential to increase nurses' perceived self-efficacy. Since all members of the health care team Including nurses play an important role in providing palliative care, nursing managers can take an effective step to maximize the capacity of nurses by planning and supporting training in this regard.

姑息治疗培训对护士自我效能感的影响。

背景技术护士参与为终末期个体提供临终护理，并且他们的自我效能感是与这类照护有关的关键因素之一。这项研究的目的是确定姑息治疗对护士自我效能感的影响。方法这是一项具有前测后测设计的准实验研究。抽样是随机的，包括40个人。干预措施包括为期四次的姑息治疗培训，每次持续45分钟。在干预之前和之后，使用人口统计学和自我效能感调查表收集数据。然后使用描述性和推断性统计数据通过SPSS 16软件分析数据。结果参与者的平均年龄为38.6，其工作经验为14.25年。大部分参与者是女性（85％），具有学士学位（92.5％）。研究结果表明，干预后“知觉的自我效能感”，“社会心理支持”和“症状管理”显着改善（p <0.05）。结论基于结果，姑息治疗教育有可能提高护士的自我效能感。由于包括护士在内的医疗保健团队的所有成员在提供姑息治疗方面都起着重要作用，因此护理管理人员可以采取有效措施，通过计划和支持这方面的培训来最大限度地提高护士的能力。干预后明显改善（p <0.05）。结论基于结果，姑息治疗教育有可能提高护士的自我效能感。由于包括护士在内的医疗保健团队的所有成员在提供姑息治疗方面都起着重要作用，因此护理管理人员可以采取有效措施，通过计划和支持这方面的培训来最大限度地提高护士的能力。干预后明显改善（p <0.05）。结论基于结果，姑息治疗教育有可能提高护士的自我效能感。由于包括护士在内的医疗保健团队的所有成员在提供姑息治疗方面都起着重要作用，因此护理管理人员可以采取有效措施，通过计划和支持这方面的培训来最大限度地提高护士的能力。
