Abstract
Objectives：To clarify effectiveness of educational workshop in advance care planning (ACP) and clinical ethics based on education for implementing end-of-life discussion (E-FIELD) program. Methods：Pre-post questionnaire survey. We held workshop in ACP and clinical ethics based on E-FIELD program. We measured participant’s knowledge of ACP and difficulties of End-of-Life (EOL) discussion before and after the workshop. Results：In 37 participants, 34 participants finished the course. Improvement of knowledge of ACP and clinical ethics in post workshop survey was statistically significant (pre. 18.1 v.s. post 23.9, p<0.001, paired t test). In terms of difficulties of EOL discussion, 7 items in all 13 items questionnaire were improved significantly in post workshop survey (p<0.05, Wilcoxon rank sum test). Conclusion：Educational workshop in ACP and clinical ethics based on E-FIELD program may improve knowledge of ACP and reduce difficulties of EOL discussion.
