Mixed-method evaluation of a culturally-adapted basic palliative care curriculum for practicing physicians in mainland China
The results of this study indicate that our culturally adapted PC training can increase practicing physicians' PC knowledge and self-efficacy. Scalable basic PC training should preserve and facilitate emotional resonance between participants and instructors to ensure uptake of PC principles. Efforts to understand and overcome the implementation challenges of new PC champions should also be prioritized.
