Description
An account of the resource
IMPORTANCE: Early integration of pediatric palliative care (PPC) for children with cancer is critical for the quality of life of both patient and family. To improve access to PPC in resource-limited settings, barriers to early integration must be understood. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the ideal vs actual timing of PPC integration for children with cancer and to uncover barriers to early integration identified by physicians in Latin America. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: The Assessing Doctors' Attitudes on Palliative Treatment (ADAPT) survey was distributed electronically from August 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021, to physicians who treat children with cancer in 17 countries in Latin America. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The ADAPT survey queried for understanding of ideal vs actual timing of PPC for children with cancer and for identification of barriers to PPC integration. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data. For secondary analyses, a comparison of the associations of previous palliative care training with physician specialty was performed using the Pearson χ2 test or the Fisher exact test. The McNemar test was used to assess responses regarding the actual vs ideal timing of PPC consultation. Analysis of variance was used to compare mean values for perceived barriers by country income level. Answers to open-ended questions were analyzed qualitatively. RESULTS: A total of 831 physicians (578 women [69.6%]; 275 physicians [33.1%] aged <35 years and 556 physicians [66.9%] aged ≥35 years) from 17 countries participated, with an overall response rate of 37.9% (831 of 2193) and a median country response rate of 51.4% (range, 22.2%-88.9%). Most respondents (572 [68.8%]) said that PPC should be involved from diagnosis, but only 117 (14.1%) stated that this occurred at their institution (P < .001). The most significantly ranked barriers to PPC were lack of home-based services (713 [85.8%]), personnel (654 [78.7%]), and knowledge about PPC (693 [83.4%]), along with physician (676 [81.3%]) and family (603 [72.6%]) discomfort about PPC involvement. In addition, these barriers were rated as more important in lower-middle income countries compared with upper-middle income countries and high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study highlights the discrepancy between ideal and actual timing of PPC for children with cancer and barriers to early PPC integration in Latin America. Interventions addressing access to PPC resources, didactic training, and clinical education (with a particular focus on equitable access to basic resources and support) are critical to improve the timing and quality of PPC in the region.

Description
An account of the resource
BACKGROUND: Pediatric palliative care (PPC) is a priority to improve pediatric hematology oncology (PHO) care in Eurasia. However, there are limited regional opportunities for PPC education. We describe the adaptation and implementation of a bilingual end-user Education in Palliative and End-of-Life Care (EPEC)-Pediatrics course for PHO clinicians in Eurasia. METHODS: Due to COVID-19, this course was delivered virtually, consisting of prerecorded, asynchronous lectures, and a bilingual workshop with interactive lectures and small group sessions. A pre-postcourse design was used to evaluate the knowledge acquisition of the participants including their knowledge alignment with World Health Organization (WHO) guidance, ideal timing of palliative care, and comfort in providing palliative care to their patients. Questions were mostly quantitative with multiple choice or Likert scale options, supplemented by free-text responses. RESULTS: A total of 44 (76%) participants from 14 countries completed all components of the course including pre- and postcourse assessments. Participant alignment with WHO guidance improved from 75% in the pre- to 90% in the postcourse assessments (p < 0.001). After participation, 93% felt more confident controlling the suffering of children at the end of life, 91% felt more confident in prescribing opioids and managing pain, and 98% better understood how to hold difficult conversations with patients and families. Most participants (98%) stated that they will change their clinical practice based on the skills and knowledge gained in this course. CONCLUSIONS: We present a successful regional adaptation of the EPEC-Pediatrics curriculum, including novel delivery of course content via a virtual bilingual format. This course resulted in significant improvement in participant attitudes and knowledge of PPC along with an understanding of the ideal timing of palliative care consultation and comfort in providing PPC to children with cancer. We plan to incorporate participant feedback to improve the course and repeat it annually to improve access to high-quality palliative care education for PHO clinicians in Eurasia.

Description
An account of the resource
Importance: The World Health Organization (WHO) designates early integration of palliative care as an ethical responsibility in the treatment of children with serious illness. Although structural barriers may influence provision of pediatric palliative care (PPC) for children with cancer in resource-limited settings, underlying physician perceptions may also impede early integration of PPC in cancer care. Objective: To investigate perceptions among physicians in Latin America about the integration of palliative care for children with cancer. Design, Setting, and Participants: This survey study used the Assessing Doctors' Attitudes on Palliative Treatment (ADAPT) survey, which was developed for physicians who care for children with cancer and was initially distributed in Eurasia. The survey was modified for use in Latin America, including translation into Spanish and adaptation for cultural context. The survey was distributed between August 21, 2020, and January 31, 2021, to physicians treating children with cancer in 17 Latin American countries. Each country had a specific survey distribution method based on guidance of local experts. Main Outcomes and Measures: The ADAPT survey evaluated physicians' understanding of palliative care principles, comfort in addressing patient and family suffering, and identification of barriers to PPC integration for children with cancer. Univariate and multivariable linear regression analyses were used to assess factors associated with physicians' knowledge about and comfort with PPC practice and whether independent physician variables were associated with survey response alignment with WHO guidance on PPC. Open-ended questions were analyzed qualitatively to supplement the quantitative data. Results: A total of 874 physicians from 17 countries participated, with an overall response rate of 39.9% (874 of 2193) and a median country response rate of 51.4% (range, 23.7%-100%). Most respondents were aged 35 years or older (577 [66.0%]), and 594 (68.0%) identified as female. Most physicians (486 [55.6%]) had no formal PPC training, and 303 (34.7%) had no access to PPC experts for consultation. Physician perspectives on PPC were generally aligned with WHO guidance (mean [SD] alignment, 83.0% [14.1%]; range among respondents, 24.0%-100%). However, only 438 respondents (50.1%) felt comfortable addressing physical symptoms of patients receiving PPC, 295 (33.8%) felt comfortable addressing emotional symptoms, and 216 (24.7%) felt comfortable addressing grief and bereavement needs of the patient's family. A total of 829 participants (94.8%) desired further education and training in PPC. Conclusion and Relevance: Although physicians' perspectives aligned well with WHO guidance for PPC, this survey study identified opportunities for improving physician training in symptom management and emotional support for children with cancer and their families. These findings may inform the development of targeted interventions to improve the quality of PPC for children with cancer in Latin America.

Description
An account of the resource
Context: The coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has profoundly impacted the provision of pediatric palliative care (PPC) interventions including goals of care discussions, symptom management, and end-of-life care. Objective: Gaining understanding of the professional and personal experiences of PPC providers on a global scale during COVID-19 is essential to improve clinical practices in an ongoing pandemic. Methods: The Palliative Assessment of Needed DEvelopments & Modifications In the Era of Coronavirus Survey-Global survey was designed and distributed to assess changes in PPC practices resulting from COVID-19. Quantitative and qualitative data were captured through the survey. Results: One hundred and fifty-six providers were included in the final analysis with 59 countries and 6 continents represented (31% from lower- or lower middle-income countries). Nearly half of PPC providers (40%) reported programmatic economic insecurity or employment loss. Use of technology influenced communication processes for nearly all participants (91%), yet most PPC providers (72%) reported receiving no formal training in use of technological interfaces. Respondents described distress around challenges in provision of comfort at the end of life and witnessing patients' pain, fear, and isolation. Conclusions: PPC clinicians from around the world experienced challenges related to COVID-19. Technology was perceived as both helpful and a hinderance to high quality communication. The pandemic's financial impact translated into concerns about programmatic sustainability and job insecurity. Opportunities exist to apply these important experiential lessons learned to improve and sustain care for future patients, families, and interdisciplinary teams. Article Summary: This original article describes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric palliative care clinicians from 59 countries including financial losses, use of virtual communication modalities, and the respondents' distress in provision of comfort at the end of life.
