Abstract

Introduction: Palliative care (PC) is considered an integral part of health care systems and an inalienable element of citizens' rights. Studies have shown that doctors do not receive formal training in communication and other essential aspects when dealing with terminally ill patients. Objectives: The aim was evaluate knowledge in PC of medical students in the fourth, fifth and sixth year of a public university in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Data were collected in the form of an online questionnaire. Data were collected in the form of an online questionnaire, with anonymous completion, carried out on a completely voluntary basis. The questionnaires addressed personal characteristics and their relationship with PC, the “Bonn Test on knowledge in palliative care” and a self-efficacy questionnaire on PC. The total number of study participants was 105 students, 71.4% female, with a mean age of 24.5 years ± 2.1 years. The total average score for the “Bonn Test on knowledge in palliative care” was 66.96%. As for the self-efficacy questionnaire, the average agreement was 64.75%, and all participants consider it important to incorporate PC content into the medical curriculum. Thus, it is concluded that the knowledge of medical students in general is insufficient, even with some of them taking a theoretical course in PC during graduation.
