Barriers to and Facilitators of Pediatric Palliative Care in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan: A Document Analysis
Our finding that PPC guidelines addressed most barriers/facilitators while HCPs still struggled with implementing PPC indicates that mature PPC guidelines are necessary but not sufficient for PPC practices to improve in these three regions. The wide availability of PPC guidelines and PPC education/training for HCPs and families needs to improve.
