Description
Michael J Tatterton and Alice Pickering comment in a 2026 article on a Spanish study of nurses' knowledge of children's palliative care in a children's hospital. Training and support from seasoned colleagues lifted skills.
Over 21.6 million children worldwide need palliative care, on the cited figure, and they now live longer with more complex needs. The discussed study by Pérez-Pérez and colleagues surveyed nurses in one hospital. The commentators draw the lesson that access to training and experienced backup improves awareness and proficiency. They call for research in specific settings with larger samples to pin down learning needs by ward type.
