A review of paediatric palliative care nursing education in Latin America.
Around the world, children suffering from catastrophic illnesses need quality palliative nursing care. However, unstable economic, social, and political structures in developing nations have delayed the advancement of paediatric palliative care programs in some regions. This systematic literature review primarily focuses on paediatric palliative care in Latin American countries. The aim is to identify existing support structures and possible barriers to paediatric palliative care nursing education. This review provides the background for a proposed collaborative paediatric palliative care nursing education initiative between a children's research hospital in the United States and a Chilean partner site.
