“…The analysis of the PCE programs shows that the majority audience were healthcare professionals, followed by family caregivers and a small number of indigenous community carers, patients and volunteers. This finding is consistent with the newly published systematic reviews on the effectiveness of educational interventions on palliative care, which indicate that most educational programs on palliative care target healthcare workers [64,65,66,67]. The current study reveals that the public and policymakers were not included as an audience in the included studies.…”

Background: Palliative care education (PCE) is an important public health approach to palliative care and is crucial to improving its utilisation. The current study aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of PCE and its effectiveness.Method: A systematic review approach, including narrative synthesis, was employed to review qualitative and quantitative studies published in the English language between January 1969 and January 2019, focusing on PCE programs.Results: Thirty-nine research studies were included in the systematic review. The target audience of the included studies were mostly healthcare professionals, followed by family caregivers. Definitions of death and palliative care, symptom management, and communication were leading themes in the reviewed PCE programs. The educational resources used in PCE programs were mainly self-developed teaching materials, with some programs utilising eLearning resources. The included PCE programs were effective in improving knowledge, attitude, and confidence in palliative care, and the satisfaction of participant learning experience. Conclusion:PCE is a useful tool to improve knowledge of, confidence in, and attitudes towards palliative care amongst healthcare professionals and carers. To make palliative care a public health issue, PCE should be expanded to the public and policymakers.

“…The participants considered the training relevant and expressed satisfaction with the content and approach. The significant increase in the participants' overall competence and scores on three domains of competence; knowledge, skill and experience after the training is consistent with the outcome of similar training programmes in critical care settings in Malawi and other developing countries 16,19,[28][29][30] .…”

“…Therefore, the findings of the present study contributed a resource which can be used for orientation of new nurses, continuing education, and preceptorship programmes as a way of preparing the nurses for critical care nursing practice in Malawi and other countries with a similar context. We support calls for ongoing education of the critical care nurses to facilitate the transfer of knowledge into practice 37 . The involvement of local facilitators as was done in the present study could also help to minimise challenges, and ensure acceptability and sustainability of the educational programmes 16 , 38 .…”

BackgroundCritical care specialty deals with the complex needs of critically ill patients. Nurses who provide critical care are expected to possess the appropriate knowledge and skills required for the care of critically ill patients. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of an educational programme on the competence of critical care nurses at two tertiary hospitals in Lilongwe and Blantyre, Malawi.MethodsA quantitative pre- and post-test design was applied. The training programme was delivered to nurses (n = 41) who worked in intensive care and adult high dependency units at two tertiary hospitals. The effect of the training was assessed through participants’ self-assessment of competence on the Intensive and Critical Care Nursing Competence Scale and a list of 10 additional competencies before and after the training.ResultsThe participants’ scores on the Intensive and Critical Care Nursing Competence Scale before the training, M = 608.2, SD = 59.6 increased significantly after the training, M = 684.7, SD = 29.7, p <.0001 (two-tailed). Similarly, there was a significant increase in the participants’ scores on the additional competencies after the training, p <.0001 (two-tailed). ConclusionThe programme could be used for upskilling nurses in critical care settings in Malawi and other developing countries with a similar context.

“…Wei et al (2019) pointed out that the clinical abilities of ICU nurses vary greatly, and ICU work experience is closely related to individual ICU nursing ability. ICU nurses must therefore continuously acquire professional skills through repeated practice, as well as improve their professional knowledge and skills through on-the-job education (Almarhabi et al, 2021).…”

Aim: To explore the effectiveness of a digital learning management system in enhancing intensive care unit nurses' critical care knowledge and critical thinking tendency.Background: Learning intensive care unit knowledge and skills is essential for the continuing education of nurses, and impacts patient health outcomes. Enhancing intensive care unit nurses' critical care abilities is a medical care quality concern in clinical practice.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 212 participants to investigate the effects of a digital learning system on care quality.Results: After the implementation of the digital learning system, intensive care unit nurses' critical care knowledge and critical thinking skills increased significantly. High-level nurses had higher critical thinking scores. All participants associated critical care knowledge with improved quality of care.
