Abstract

Abstract:

Advanced practice nurses(APNs) in palliative care,as a vital workforce with strong clinical decision making capacity and interdisciplinary collaboration skills,play a vital role in symptom management,care coordination,and psychosocial support for patients and their families. However,the development of palliative care APNs in China is still at an exploratory stage. This article reviews the development,cultivation(admission and certification,education and training),core competencies,and practice scope of palliative care APNs at home and abroad. It proposes that in the future,China needs to establish an admission and qualification certification system for palliative care APN,with a focus on improving the existing education and training system,further optimize the practice environment and interdisciplinary mechanism,so as to provide a theoretical and practical implications for the construction of a localized development model for palliative care APNs in China.
