Article Synopsis
- A significant number of children in Brazil do not receive adequate management for their symptoms, partially due to deficiencies in pediatricians' training.
- A cross-sectional study assessed the educational shortcomings perceived by pediatric residents regarding pediatric palliative care (PPC) using the Pediatric Palliative Care Questionnaire (QCPP).
- Findings revealed that a high percentage of residents felt unprepared to discuss end-of-life processes, attributed to insufficient teaching hours in PPC and lack of training in communication and decision-making skills related to care.
