End-of-Life Learning: Exploratory Insights for Enhancing Successful Tertiary Speech Pathology Placements in Australian Palliative Care

Background: In the context of palliative care (PC), individuals often face communication and swallowing challenges that necessitate speech-language pathology (SLP) intervention. However, there are current shortfalls in preparing SLP students for this unique field of practice. While some research addresses theoretical aspects, limited knowledge exists regarding the practical and systemic factors that hinder or facilitate students' clinical placements in PC. Aims: This study aims to uncover barriers and facilitators in successful PC clinical placements by gathering insights from experienced SLPs working in the field. Method: Eight Australian SLPs, each with over a year of palliative care experience, participated in two focus groups. Qualitative data was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis and inductive coding. Results: The findings identified several key themes and sub-themes related to the role of universities in improving PC placements. Three categories of factors emerged: (i) fixed elements inherent to PC, such as its unique caseload; (ii) flexible elements modifiable by universities, like student preparedness; and (iii) variable elements beyond university control, including student characteristics. Conclusion: This research emphasises the importance of well-prepared SLP students engaging in successful PC placements. Achieving this requires adequate training from universities and support from clinical educators to develop comprehensive clinical competency

What is needed to prepare speech pathologists to work in adult palliative care?

Background: Speech pathologists have a pivotal role in palliative care, assisting patients with swallowing and communication disorders, yet very little is known about the preparedness of speech pathologists to work in this field. Aims: To investigate the preparedness of speech pathologists for working in palliative care. The term ‘palliative care’ was viewed as an encompassing umbrella term incorporating the management/reduction of symptoms and improvement in a person's quality of life at any point of the disease progression. Methods & Procedures: Participants were Australian-trained speech pathologists who provided adult palliative care services. An online questionnaire was used to gather both quantitative and qualitative data from practising speech pathologists. Qualitative data were analysed and interpreted using conventional content analysis. Descriptive statistics were analysed via the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows Version 22. Non-parametric tests (chi-square and Mann–Whitney U-test) were used for further analysis. Outcomes & Results: The majority (70%) of participants indicated that their university training did not prepare them to practice in palliative care. Participants who received palliative care education at the tertiary level were significantly more prepared to work with palliative patients than those who had not; however, only a minority (27%) had received such training. Just over half (57%) reported having completed post-university professional development in palliative care. The speech pathologist's role in palliative care was also highlighted, with speech pathologists outlining their contribution to the assessment of patients’ communication and swallowing abilities. In addition, recommendations for palliative care content to be incorporated into university curriculum were suggested. Conclusions & Implications: Speech pathologists can make important contributions to end-of-life care, but there is much scope for improving the availability and quality of university and post-university palliative care training opportunities so that people receiving palliative care are best supported

Critical analysis of methodology and cognitive errors in clinical and emergency decisions in medicine

Clinical decision making CDM) is a type of qualitative research that looks at the cognitive processes in designing healthcare decisions. Choosing the right choice could have significant effects. Triage is a domain where judgment calls need to be aware of the actions they are performing, the reasons for it, and what steps to take to have a good result. The utilization of technological advances and an examination of client classification techniques are useful concepts that facilitate wise decisions. The constant aspect of the decision-making process is emphasized in the handling of patients. A crucial viewpoint for urgent care and critical decision-making involving mistakes has been offered
