Advancing Evidence-based Palliative Care Research: Navigating Challenges and Proposing Solutions.

ABSTRACT

Amid the increasing demand for palliative care, driven by demographic shifts and medical progress, evidence-based practices face obstacles due to limited research. Complex patient conditions and ethical considerations challenge traditional methodologies, while the absence of comprehensive clinical trials hinders innovative interventions. Empowering practitioners with research skills and establishing a palliative care research network are efforts aimed at bridging these gaps. It is important to emphasise that these initiatives collectively aspire to enhance evidence-based practices, ensuring quality care for individuals facing severe illnesses.
