Abstract

Background: The integration of paediatric palliative care into the Iranian health system is essential. Aims: The aim of this study was to identify the challenges of palliative care in the paediatric intensive care unit during COVID-19 through the experiences of healthcare providers. Methods: A qualitative study with content analysis approach was conducted. Fifteen physicians and nurses were selected by purposeful sampling. The semi-structured, in-depth interviews were applied in the data collection. Findings: Ten main categories were extracted from data analysis, including caring in COVID-19 , communication and family centre care , breaking bad news , palliative care training , pain and symptom management , support of the child, family and clinical team , physical environment , guidelines , specialised staff and home based palliative care . Conclusion: Palliative care in the PICU faces several challenges, especially during COVID-19, but the clinical team are making every attempt to improve the comprehensive care of children and their families.
