Workshop 1 | EPEC Pediatrics |
---|---|
Description | The international EPEC (Education in Palliative and End-of-life Care) - Pediatrics curriculum features evidence-based knowledge in pain and symptom management and theory-informed training in the skills required to address key domains in pediatric palliative care (PPC). This programme in Incheon is specially tailored for the Asia Pacific Hospice Conference, taking into consideration varying learning needs of clinicians in the region. With an interdisciplinary and multi-cultural focus and a high faculty-to-participant ratio for maximal interaction, it is designed to strengthen knowledge, attitude and skills among different clinicians (physicians, nurses, social workers and other allied health professionals). Whether practicing in the hospital or community, there will be something to take away from the workshop. Symposium fees have been heavily subsidized with charitable support to allow more professionals to benefit. Clinicians who hope to improve the care of children with serious illness and their families must not miss this opportunity to learn from PPC experts assembled here. |

Title | Innovative Psychosocial Care at the End-of-Life | Supporting Grief, Alleviating Burnout, and Building Sustained Resilience with Mindful Compassion Art-based Therapy (MCAT): An Experiential Workshop |
Description | Speakers: Gilbert Fan and Jessica Goh Throughout my career as an Oncology Social Worker, I have made several observations of patients facing end-of-life care. The most common issues that these patients struggled with were acceptance of their grave prognosis, their difficulties in telling their loved ones about their decisions pertaining to treatment and care, their inability to let go, their search for the meaning of their current predicament, their fear of suffering and of losing their mental and physical faculties, and their fear of the unknown after death. Their stories have helped me develop therapeutic interventions in working with them. This workshop will cover some of these therapeutic interventions that I have developed, such as the use of therapeutic stories and brief questioning techniques, the use of metaphors and imageries, and experiential exercises such as ‘the virgin island’, ‘re-decision’, ‘coin-therapy’ and ‘your life journey’ board game. I have also used recorded videos of role-plays to teach grief counselling and will be sharing the application of grief theories and techniques in counselling. Therefore, this workshop will be divided into two parts:

Speaker: Andy Hau Yan Ho Palliative and bereavement care professionals face a multitude of demands in their work, convoluted by frequent experiences of patient death and ensuing grief.

Mindful Compassion Art-based Therapy (MCAT) is a clinically robust, integrative, multimodal group-based intervention for reducing burnout and enhancing resilience through the augmenting the reflective power of mindful self-compassion and the expressive power of creative arts. In this immersive experiential workshop, Participants will be provided with a unique opportunity to experience of MCAT that is grounded in empirical science, and to learn effective and creative ways for self-love, selfcare, and self-discovery.

Workshop 8 | Demoralization in Hospice Patients: Screening, Diagnosis and Management |
---|---|
Description | Demoralization is a state of poor coping characterized by symptoms of low morale, hopelessness, sense of entrapment, and loss of meaning and purpose in life. Its importance lies in the specificity of its symptoms in capturing maladaptive coping, the therapeutic target these symptoms become in treatment approaches, its strong association with suicidal thinking and its prominent prevalence including in palliative care. This workshop is designed for palliative care clinicians, including physicians, nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists, social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists, pastoral care and other allied health specialists. In completing this workshop, our learning objectives for participants include their ability to:
Our management algorithms will cover responses to patients with mild, moderate and severe symptom levels. We will use demonstration videos to illustrate psycho-existential symptom screening. We expect our participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the clinical presentations, importance and assessment of demoralization as well as gain new perspectives about how to respond to psycho-existential distress in patients in hospice and palliative care settings. |
