Sponsor's own description
The implementation of palliative care has been started in Indonesia since 2007. This was declared by Ministry of health regulation (SK Menkes no 812/Menkes/SK/2007). However, there has been a slow development in palliative care compared to other Asian countries. One of the reasons is the lack of knowledge and skills among health care professionals in Indonesia. Primary Heath Center (PHC) is at the frontline in the health care system in Indonesia to provide care for patients. Its function is especially important in the Universal Health Coverage era. Studies have shown that PHC's nurses' knowledge on palliative care is still limited since the integration of palliative care into the nursing curriculum just started 2-3 years ago. Also, this curriculum integration is still limited in some Universities. Continuing nursing education (CNE) is one of the ways to enhance nurses' knowledge and skills. CNE for palliative care in Indonesian training programs has not been structurally established yet. It is fragmented in its application into some areas and has not been applied for the majority of areas in Indonesia. Investigators aim to develop a palliative care training for PHC nurses using an online format. It will be done in several steps. Firstly, investigators are starting by conducting a review to collect information on what topics are suitable for PHC nurses. Secondly, investigators are developing modules and other educational tools (a virtual education package). Thirdly, those educational packages will be then evaluated by experts. Next, the education package will be integrated into eLOK (e-learning: open for knowledge sharing) at Universitas Gadjah Mada. After that, training for PHC nurses in Yogyakarta using eLOK will be conducted under the acronym: SPARK or Strengthening PAlliative caRe in the community by enhancing nurses' Knowledge (Sinau PAliatif Rame-rame karo eLOK). The effectiveness of SPARK will be measured with a Randomized Control Trial. Investigators will also collect more information on the feasibility of this program using qualitative data collection since investigators expect to refine this program to be applied in a larger area in Indonesia.
