Workshop 1 소아청소년 완화의료∙말기 돌봄 교육 (EPEC)
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 말기에서의 심리사회적 돌봄에 대한 혁신적 접근 슬픔, 소진, 탄성회복력을 위한 MCAT(Mindful Compassion Art-based Therapy) 체험 워크숍
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:
  • Part I: Experiential work with patients with a serious medical condition
  • Part II: Application of selected Grief theories and techniques in counselling
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. The resulting stress and burnout adversely affect quality of patient care and quality of caregiver health. 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.

  • Part 1: Understand the cause and effects of stress, burnout, grief, and empathy distress among palliative care professionals
  • Part 2: Discuss the empirical foundation of integrating mindful self-compassion with art-based therapy for self-help and clinical supervision
  • Part 3: Acquire the conceptual foundation and experience the empirical-based techniques of Mindful Compassion Art-based therapy (MCAT)
All participants of this pre-conference workshop will receive a complimentary copy of ‘Seasons of Life’: a self-care book that incorporates art with tips on self-care and mindfulness (worth $USD37). Book to be collected in person while stocks last.

Workshop 8 호스피스 환자의 사기저하(Demoralization) : 선별, 진단, 관리
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:
  • Describe the prevalence, measurement approaches and diagnostic criteria for demoralization in hospice and palliative care;
  • Identify the risk and protective factors for the development of demoralization;
  • Examine clinical examples and assessment approaches to better recognize and respond to demoralization;
  • Explore strategies and techniques used to treat demoralization and ameliorate suffering; and
  • Describe ethical, cultural and professional issues that arise in the clinical care of patients with demoralization.

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.
Programme Plan This workshop will run from 13:00 to 18:00 KST. Final Program

The natural component parts of this workshop include:
  • The construct - its history and recent studies of novel symptoms: discouragement, entrapment, pointlessness and hopelessness
  • Presenting problems and its measurement - the DS, DS-II, The Demoralization Interview, and the PeSAS screening tool in palliative care
  • Diagnosis - Adjustment disorder with demoralization; Major depression with demoralization. Differential diagnoses.
  • Network mapping of symptoms and central symptom targets; Clinical examples met in palliative care.
  • Meaning and Purpose therapies and the treatment of demoralization; different approaches to mild, moderate and severe symptom profiles.
  • Impact of demoralization on families and clinical teams, ethical issues, culture, supervision, and service policy issues.
