NET2019 - Preparation of neophyte student nurses to deliver compassionate care at the end of life: An evaluation

The presenters of this session have been involved in adapting early modules for new student nurses. New input, in three of the four first modules, has focussed on aspects of preparing the student to confidently and compassionately deliver care at the end of life. The Biological module includes a lecture on Physiology at the end of life. The Study Skills module includes three hours of lecture and seminar on developing emotional intelligence (EI). The Patient-Centred Care module offers specific input, including a learning-through-simulation session. These interventions have been evaluated and the results are presented here.
