Abstract BackgroundThe need to align the range of guidance and competencies concerning children's palliative care and develop an education framework have been recommended by a UK All-Party Parliament Group and others. In response to these recommendations the need for a revised children’s palliative care competency framework was recognized. A Children’s Palliative Care Education and Training Action Group was formed across UK and Ireland in 2019 to take this work forward. Their aim was to agree core principles of practice in order to standardize children’s palliative care education and training.MethodsThe Action Group reviewed sources of evidence and guidance including palliative care competency documents and UK and Ireland quality and qualification frameworks. Expected levels of developing knowledge and skills were agreed and identified competencies mapped to each level. The mapping process led to the development of learning outcomes, local indicative programme content and assessment exemplars. Results Four sections depicting developing levels of knowledge and skills were identified: Public Health, Universal, Core, Specialist. Each level has four learning outcomes: Communicating effectively, Working with others in and across various settings, Identifying and managing symptoms, Sustaining self-care and supporting the well-being of others. An audit tool template was developed to facilitate quality assurance of programme delivery. The framework and audit tool repository is on the International Children’s Palliative Care Network website for ease of international access. ConclusionsThe framework has received interest at UK, Ireland and International launches. While there are education programmes in children’s palliative care this is the first international attempt to coordinate education, to address lay carer education and to include public health.

A growing body of research has examined modalities for delivering palliative care education; however, we know little about education and training preferences of VA interdisciplinary Palliative Care Consult Teams (PCCT). In the BEACON II study, we explored training preferences of PCCTs from 46 Veterans Affairs Medical Centers (VAMCs) participating in either a multisite webinar or a small group, in-person workshop. We interviewed participants by telephone seven to eight month post-training. In all, 75.9% preferred in-person education and training, including 78.9% of workshop participants and 73.1% of webinar participants. Respondents described in-person training as fostering learning through the following processes: (1) active engagement and focus, (2) interaction and networking, (3) meaning-making and relevance, and (4) reciprocity and commitment. Although it is not possible for Web-based palliative care education programs to replicate all aspects of the in-person learning experience, building experiential, interactive, meaningful, and reciprocal components into Web-based education may help shift preferences and make interdisciplinary team-based palliative care education accessible to a larger audience.

Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Unit Analisis terdiri atas 8 Informan serta dokumen-dokumen yang diperoleh dari BKPSDM  Kota  Tidore  Kepulauan  yakni  Dokumen  Rencana  Strategik,  Dokumen Laporan Akuntabilitas Kinerja, dan Dokumen Analisis Jabatan. Data dianalisis secara kualitatif.  Hasil  penelitian  memperlihatkan  bahwa  Badan  Kepegawaian  dan Pengembangan  Sumber  Daya  Manusia  Kota  Tidore  Kepulauan  tidak  melakukan analisis kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan dengan tepat dan sistematis. Identifikasi kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan di tingkat organisasi hanya ditentukan oleh pimpinan, identifikasi kebutuhan pendidikan dan pelatihan ditingkat pekerjaan hanya menyesuaikan dengan program-program pendidikan dan pelatihan yang ditawarkan oleh  penyelenggara  dan  kebutuhan  di  tingkat  individu  hanya  diputuskan  oleh pimpinan berdasarkan intuisi dan keinginannya. Oleh karena itu, sebaiknya BKPSDM Kota Tidore Kepulauan dalam menentukan bagian atau bidang mana dalam organisasi yang membutuhkan diklat dilaksanakan melalui proses analisis organisasi dengan melakukan wawancara keluar, survai Calon Peserta dan data kepuasan peserta maupun dengan melihat indeks efisiensi.Kata kunci:  Analisis Kebutuhan Pendidikan dan Pelatihan, Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia, Pemerintah Kota Tidore Kepulauan. Abstract Education and Training are needed to address the gap between the quality of task performance and the minimum quality standards required, as well as to improve the quality  of  work.  The  objective  of  this  study  is  to  understand  and  analyze  the implementation of training needs analysis for Civil Servants that was undertaken by The  Board  of  Employee  and  Human  Resource  Development  of  Tidore  Kepulauan Municipality. This study uses a qualitative method. Analysis Unit is 8 informants and documents obtained from BKPSDM Tidore Kepulauan Municipality namely Document of  Strategic  Plan,  Document  of  Performance  Accountability  Report,  Job  Analysis Document. Data were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study show that The Board  of  Employee  and  Human  Resource  Development  of  Tidore  Kepulauan Municipality did not conduct a proper and systematic training needs analysis. The training needs identification at the organizational level is determined solely by the leader, the training needs identification at the job level merely adjusting to the education and training programs offered by the organizers and the individual level needs only decided by the leadership based on intuition and desire. Therefore, it is better to BKPSDM Tidore Kepulauan Municipality in determining which part or field in the organization that need the training done through organizational analysis process by conducting out interview, participant survey and participant satisfaction data as well as by looking at the efficiency index.Keywords:  Training Needs Analysis, Human Resource Development, Tidore Kepulauan Municipality.

Background: Lack of education and training in palliative care has been described to be one of the most important barriers to pediatric palliative care implementation. Objective: To examine what factors determine the degree of knowledge and level of comfort Mexican pediatricians have providing pediatric palliative care. Methods: A questionnaire that assessed palliative care concepts was developed and applied online to Mexican pediatricians, both generalists and specialists. Results: A total of 242 pediatricians responded. The majority had not received palliative care education (92.6%) and felt uncomfortable discussing palliative needs with patients and families (92.1%). The mean score of the questionnaire was 6.8 (±1.4) of 10 correct answers. Knowledge in palliative care was associated with exposure to oncologic patients ( P = .01) and previous palliative care education ( P = .02) but inversely related to the pediatrician’s age ( P = .01). Comfort addressing patient’s palliative care needs was associated with knowledge in palliative care ( P < .01), exposure to oncologic patients ( P = .03), and previous education in palliative care ( P = .02). Conclusions: Although Mexican pediatricians have basic knowledge of palliative care concepts, they do not feel comfortable addressing palliative care needs, suggesting that the main barrier for implementing palliative care is not the lack of knowledge but rather feeling uncomfortable when addressing these issues with patients and families. Educational programs should incorporate strategies that could help physicians develop comfort in approaching palliative care patients.
