Bioethics education of healthcare professionals caring for end-of-life patients

Authors

Abstract

This qualitative study aimed to explore the bioethical education of healthcare professionals working
with end-of-life patients at a university hospital in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and to identify the
aspects they consider most important in bioethics education for their professional practice. Assessing
the experiences of these professionals may provide valuable insights for improving bioethics education
programs through the integration of practical competencies that promote more patient-centered care
and ethically sound decision-making.
