Enhancing medical students' understanding of end-of-life care ethics and law through video-triggered expert-led debriefing: a two-stage study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Taiwan enacted the Hospice Palliative Care Act in 2000 and the Patient Autonomy Act in 2016. However, medical education has emphasized palliative care skills over ethical and legal integration. This study developed a curriculum for pre-clinical students, focusing on applying these issues in end of life care.

Methods

The participants were fourth-year medical students enrolled in a 1-credit medical ethics and law course at a medical school in Taiwan. The study employed a two-stage design, combining quantitative pretests and posttests with qualitative data obtained through the Know-Want-Learn strategy. The curriculum, called the video-triggered expert-led debrief module, included a video scenario on end of life care, insights shared by three interprofessional experts
