Seven process indicators were identified, encompassing experiential learning, multi-modal approaches, reflective practice and emotional processing, group-based peer learning, embedded learning, flexibility, and feedback. Six outcome indicators were identified, including the enhancement of competencies, sustainability and long-term impact, validated tools for evaluation, participant satisfaction, integration into routine practices, and impact on patients and families.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This umbrella review proposes an evidence-informed framework of potential quality indicators for palliative care education, offering guidance for curriculum design and policy development while identifying key areas requiring empirical refinement and validation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/26323524261440959","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,7]],"date-time":"2026-05-07T08:24:42Z","timestamp":1778142282000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Towards quality indicators in palliative care education: An umbrella review"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4757-9019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna J.","family":"Pedrosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Faculty of Medicine, Philipps University of Marburg, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3075-0833","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ulla","family":"N\u00e4pp\u00e4","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Mid Sweden University, \u00d6stersund, Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Minna","family":"H\u00f6kk\u00e4","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kajaani University of Applied Sciences, Finland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Institute for Culture and Society, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piret","family":"Paal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ethnology, Institute of Cultural Research, University of Tartu, Estonia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8980-7235","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"Ka\u0148\u00e1k","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology and Social Work, University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czech Republic"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabija","family":"Jara\u0161i\u016bnait\u0117-Fedosejeva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Vytautas Magnus University, Kaunas, Lithuania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Connolly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems, University College Dublin, Ireland"},{"name":"Our Lady\u2019s Hospice &amp; Care Services, Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John","family":"Ellershaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Palliative Care Unit, University of Liverpool, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabina","family":"Antoniu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine II, University of Medicine and Pharmacy \u201cGrigore T.
