AHPM UNIPAC 8: The Hospice/Palliative
Medicine Approach to Caring for Pediatric Patients
|
This educational submission is one of a series of 8
monographs prepared by the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative
Medicine. Each monograph is designed to be a self-study module and
includes objectives, pre and post tests, reading materials, clinical
scenarios to allow application of knowledge, references and the
opportunity to earn CME credit. UNIPAC 8 addresses the differences
between palliative care for adults and children, communication
techniques, recognizing normal and complicated grief and initiating
interventions, managing psychosocial issues, pain and non pain
symptoms, managing opioid related side effects and refractory symptoms
and finally, managing a child's death. Reviewers were impressed with
the comprehensive nature of the UNIPAC and commented, "the multiple
cases studies were varied and covered many ages, complications, etc.
The progressive nature of the clinical stories- the ability to
"follow" a patient over several years as his condition changes and
deteriorates--was very well done and effective". |
