JOPHON Courses offer continuing education created from JOPHON, APHON’s acclaimed journal. These courses feature original, peer-reviewed research aimed at enhancing clinical nursing care for children and adolescents with cancer and blood disorders, and their families.

This course discusses a study on enhancing pediatric end-of-life care for nurse residents through simulation and storytelling. It highlights that nurses gain confidence in end-of-life care after several years of experience and identifies empathy as a key factor in communication during this sensitive time. The combination of simulation and storytelling fosters compassion and trust, while pre-briefing sessions are essential due to the emotional challenges faced by pediatric oncology nurses. The project faced challenges, including participant hesitancy, and found storytelling beneficial in various educational phases. The study also assessed changes in nurses' knowledge and comfort levels using the FATCOD scale.

Describe the benefits of the storytelling technique as an educational modality for teaching end of life care to clinicians.
Discuss the use of simulation in developing communication techniques that enhance the comfort level of clinicians caring for patients at end of life.
Define and describe the use of the FATCOD scale as it applies to simulation education.
