Abstract: This paper endeavors to explore the current literature as it relates to healthcare practitioner education on the topics of death and dying, specifically to assess the efficacy of education on hospice care and whether this education improved patients’ understanding of their disease process, whether patients felt they benefitted from palliative care, and whether healthcare workers felt they improved as practitioners after being exposed to education about how to handle terminally ill patients and their care. The variabilities of different cultures and their responses to death were also considered. The research systematically used articles from Medline, PubMed, and Google Scholar and was assessed from October 2023 through February 2024. The results were that medical students and members of the healthcare team felt better prepared to handle terminally ill patients after receiving education on handling death. Additionally, patients expecting to die felt more at ease after understanding their disease process and how hospice care can help, and family members/caregivers had a more well-managed grieving process after receiving education on disease progression and earlier access to hospice resources. In conclusion, education on death, access to palliative care services, and promoting discussions of death were beneficial, but more research is needed on how to implement such education classes or programs.
