“…Communication skills were often the major emphasis (Back et al 2007, Fischer & Arnold 2007, Worthington 2008). The emphasis on knowledge and skills in palliative care training occurs not only in the West but also in other parts of the world, such as Korea (Kang et al 2010) and Hong Kong (Tse et al 2012). Some studies are more relevant to the needs of helping professionals in facing the effect of death work on the self, such as spiritual care training (Wasner et al 2005), but are still limited in bridging the gap between 'self' and 'death work'.…”

Helping professionals require self-competence in coping with the existential and emotional challenges of death work. Previous training often focused on knowledge and skills rather than on this competence. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a 3-day workshop in Hong Kong to enhance helping professionals' self-competence in death work. A randomised controlled trial was conducted to examine the effects of the training between January and May 2014. Targeted participants were helping professionals who had been doing death work for at least 6 months. The 112 participants were openly recruited from hospitals and NGOs and were assigned to an intervention group or a waitlist control group. Data were collected at pre-intervention and post-intervention. Primary outcome was self-competence in death work. All participants were grouped for analysing the changes in outcomes at pre-intervention, post-intervention and 3-month follow-up. Participants in the intervention group experienced a significant increase in the total score of the Self-competence in Death Work Scale (SC-DWS) and in scores of the Existential and Emotional subscales of SC-DWS. The positive effects of training on self-competence in death work were maintained at the 3-month follow-up. This study provides evidence of the effectiveness of training in enhancing helping professionals' self-competence in death work. Further research is required to examine the long-term effects of training.

“…For example, given the high prevalence of negative attitudes towards medications, researchers may consider designing studies to evaluate such attitudes and test educational interventions that enhance receptivity to use of appropriate medication regimens, supporting recommendations of the recent IOM report [2]. Pain management programs targeted at patients with cancer pain have successfully increased analgesic usage and enhanced various outcomes among patients from a variety of countries [31–34]. To overcome communication barriers, researchers could explore effectiveness of linguistically and culturally appropriate teaching tools and pain management programs.…”

Chronic pain management strategies used by low-income overweight Latinos

2012

Objectives In group interviews, we examined strategies used to manage chronic pain from the perspective of the individual. Methods Sixteen low income overweight Latino adults participated in two group interviews facilitated by a trained moderator who inquired about the type of chronic pain suffered by participants, followed by more specific questions about pain management. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim (Spanish), back-translated into English, and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results Participants’ pain varied in type, location, and intensity. Participants discussed pain-related changes in activities and social life, and difficulties with health care providers, and as a result, we discovered five major themes: Pain-related Life Alterations, Enduring the Pain, Trying Different Strategies, Emotional Suffering, and Encounters with Health Care System/Providers. Discussion Findings indicated that there are opportunities for providers to improve care for low income overweight Latinos with chronic pain by listening respectfully to how pain alters their daily lives and assisting them in feasible self management strategies.
