Proposed Collection
Palliative Care: Conversations Matter Evaluation -0925--New--National
Institute of Nursing Research (NINR), National Institutes of Health
(NIH)
Need and Use of Information Collection: NINR developed Palliative
Care: Conversations Matter, a pediatric palliative care campaign to
address the communications challenges faced by health care providers
who recommend and provide palliative care to pediatric populations.
NINR is launching this effort to increase the use of palliative care
for children living with serious illness or life-limiting conditions.
The Palliative Care: Conversations Matter evaluation will assess the
information and materials being disseminated as part of the official
campaign. Survey findings will help (1) Determine if the campaign is
effective, relevant, and useful to health care providers who recommend
and provide palliative care to pediatric populations; (2) to better
understand the information needs of health care providers to inform
future campaign efforts; and (3) examine how effective the campaign
materials are in starting and continuing a pediatric palliative care
conversation and addressing the communications needs of health care
providers around this topic.
OMB approval is requested for 3 years. There are no costs to
respondents other than their time. The total estimated annualized
burden hours are 200.
