Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| What perspective do emergency services employees have about dying and death? Does the perspective change over the period of activity, i.e. do employees with more professional experience in the rescue service have a different attitude to the topics of death and dying and their work and a different level of knowledge regarding palliative care than employees who are still in training? The following questionnaires are used: I. General information (level of training, experience in emergency services, etc.) II. PCEP-GR (German version of the "Palliative Care Education and Practice" Questionnaire): records experience and personal dealings with the dying III. Questions about attitude and professional practice (own collection of questions, not validated, purely descriptive evaluation, therefore no validation is planned) IV. FIMEST-E (“Questionnaire inventory for the multi-dimensional recording of the experience of dying and death”): comprehensively and differentiates the emotional assessments that a person undertakes during the mental preoccupation with dying and death. V. BPW (Bonn Palliative Knowledge Test): Acquisition of knowledge about palliative care VI. Open questions | — |
