Pediatric Palliative Care Education Model in Low Resource Settings: A Mixed-Methods Evaluation.

Context: Globally, approximately 21.6 million children need pediatric palliative care (PPC). The greatest burden lies in low- and middle-income countries, where the demand for PPC exceeds available resources.

From Fear to Confidence: Changing Providers' Attitudes About Pediatric Palliative and Hospice Care.

Context: Children have limited access to hospice care: few existing hospice programs have dedicated pediatric teams, and adult hospice providers feel inadequately trained to care for children.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to increase access to pediatric hospice care by empowering adult hospice providers to care for children through a comprehensive education program. Education empowers providers by changing their attitudes from inadequacy to confidence.
