The PALLIA-TRAINING study: mixed-methods study to identify educational needs in palliative care among French oncology fellows.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To improve cancer patient management, international recommendations underline the importance of integrating palliative care (PC) into oncology, and education of future oncologists is key to achieving this. In France, no study has evaluated PC training for oncology residents. This study aims to identify educational needs in PC among French oncology residents and to assess the acceptability of changing their medical training.

Methods

A nationwide, descriptive, mixed-methods study was performed between 2021 and 2023. The first qualitative phase used semi-structured interviews with oncology residents to identify their training needs in PC. The second quantitative phase performed a nationwide online survey among all French oncology residents.
