20.500.12556/DKUM-89416 Last aid course - the Slovenian experience Educating and raising awareness among lay members of the public about palliative care can significantly improve the care for terminally ill patients and their quality of life. This paper reports on the survey aimed at assessing the experience and expectations of participants in the Last Aid course launched in Slovenia in 2019 to train hospice volunteers and promote dialogue on death and dying. The course implementation was supported by materials prepared, translated, and/or adapted from German under the PO-LAST project, which linked Slovenian medical and healthcare professionals, hospice representatives, and university students. The Last Aid course follows an international four-module curriculum that has been successfully applied in 18 countries so far. In Slovenia, the course was delivered 30 times with 21 in-person deliveries and 9 online events attended by 450 participants of different sexes, ages, and professions. The surveyed population included 250 people who returned the evaluation questionnaires by October 2020. The aim of the analysis was to gain insight that can be applied broadly in future work and research on adult education on palliative care and the erasure of death-related taboos. paliative care education lay public Last Aid Course paliativna oskrba družinska medicina izobraževanje laična javnost tečaj Zadnja pomoč true true true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-07-09 08:22:39 2024-07-09 08:37:36 2024-07-16 12:47:21 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2022 0 0 Str. 1-11 Št. 7, št. članka 1154 Letn. 10 2022 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-05-04 2022-06-16 2022-06-21 614:616-039.75 113445635 10.3390/healthcare10071154 2227-9032 Zelko-2022-Last_Aid_Course-The_Slovenian_Exper.pdf Zelko-2022-Last_Aid_Course-The_Slovenian_Exper.pdf 1 3D6F7C2A679FF10863CC911EA61B704A b9f00724462928797108da2c3cbdba3e230f91eec02632b1e74fdee4f0a53833 2da8fed0-3dbd-11ef-9361-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181257 https://doi.org/10.3390/healthcare10071154 0 ab177547-3dbb-11ef-9361-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181256 Filozofska fakulteta Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
