Abstract

Background: The lack of clarity about the factors that motivate service providers to take a career in palliative care presents a significant knowledge gap that must be filled. This is because gaining knowledge about the motivations for taking a career in palliative care would provide valuable insights that can potentially increase buy-in and interest among prospective healthcare professionals. By elucidating the motivations of service providers, the study aims to contribute to the broader field of palliative care research and inform the development of tailored interventions and training programmes to increase the pool of specialized palliative care providers.

Objective: To explore palliative care service providers' motivations to practice palliative care.

Design: Exploratory descriptive design.

Methods: In all, seven in-depth interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. Data were managed using NVivo-12. Inductive thematic analysis was performed by following Hasse's adaptation of Colaizzi's approach to qualitative thematic analysis.

Results: Two main factors motivated service providers to take a career in palliative care. The first was the influence of professional training while the second motivation was from their personal experiences regarding providing care to a family member with palliative care needs.

Conclusion: The study concludes that personal experiences with caring for a loved one with palliative care needs play a pivotal role in shaping the decision of service providers to pursue a career in palliative care. Also, investment in palliative care education and training is crucial to ensure a skilled workforce capable of meeting the growing needs of patients and families facing serious illnesses.

“完全偶然”:对服务提供者实施姑息治疗动机的定性分析。
背景:激励服务提供者从事姑息治疗职业的因素不明确,这是一个必须填补的重大知识空白。这是因为了解从事姑息治疗的动机将提供有价值的见解,有可能增加潜在医疗保健专业人员的支持和兴趣。通过阐明服务提供者的动机,该研究旨在为更广泛的姑息治疗研究领域做出贡献,并为制定量身定制的干预措施和培训计划提供信息,以增加专门的姑息治疗提供者。目的:探讨姑息治疗服务提供者实施姑息治疗的动机。设计:探索性描述性设计。方法:采用半结构化访谈指南进行7次深度访谈。使用NVivo-12管理数据。归纳主题分析是根据Hasse对Colaizzi的定性主题分析方法的改编而进行的。结果:两个主要因素促使服务提供者从事姑息治疗。第一个是专业培训的影响,而第二个动机来自他们为有姑息治疗需求的家庭成员提供护理的个人经历。结论:该研究得出结论,照顾有姑息治疗需求的亲人的个人经历在决定服务提供者从事姑息治疗职业方面发挥着关键作用。此外,对姑息治疗教育和培训的投资对于确保一支有技能的劳动力队伍能够满足面临严重疾病的患者和家庭日益增长的需求至关重要。
