Attitudes and knowledge about palliative care among citizens of Croatia: a case study of two cities with and without established palliative care service

ConclusionsBrief behavioral treatment can be delivered by non-behavioral health professionals within the context of a primary care visit. Trained providers report they are comfortable implementing this protocol and that it is feasible. Integrated psychologists have the ability to provide valuable resources to medical teams to facilitate evidence-based treatment of depression among adolescent patients. DiscussionThe project filled a critical service gap and improved the standard of patient care through the efficient allocation of scarce resources and collaboration through integrated care.Lessons Learned:   Provider questions could often not be adequately answered in the time allotted during trainings. Additionally, materials should be translated into multiple languages and be more representative and inclusive of diverse patient populations.   Published on 2021-09-01 00:00:00
