Palliative care and advance care planning are therefore receiving increasing attention in the literature. However, structural implementation in clinical practice is still lacking. The aim of this study was to explore the needs, facilitators, and barriers for communication on the topic of end-of-life preferences of patients from the perspective of healthcare professionals.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A generic qualitative study was performed with focus groups and individual semi structured interviews with healthcare professionals. Data collection and analysis were performed iteratively. A thematic analysis was performed, following the methods of Braun and Clarke.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three focus groups and seven individual semi-structured interviews were conducted. Three themes were generated: (1) a lack of vision on palliative care, resulting in different approaches within the same clinic and showing the need for optimization of collaboration; (2) the importance of a learning-driven environment to support healthcare professionals skills and knowledge; and (3), the central role of the individual professional in developing skills and knowledge.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions\/discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study underscores the importance of behavioral and organizational change in palliative care to optimize conversations exploring values, preferences, and needs for end-of-life care for patients with pulmonary fibrosis. Leveraging the shared motivation of healthcare professionals to provide optimal care, integrating these findings into training and coaching programs can further enhance patient-centered approach in palliative care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0338624","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]],"date-time":"2025-12-12T18:23:21Z","timestamp":1765563801000},"page":"e0338624","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Perspective of healthcare professionals on barriers and facilitators in exploring end-of-life care preferences of patients with pulmonary fibrosis: A qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3681-3140","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lian","family":"Trapman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lea M","family":"Dijksman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jan C.","family":"Grutters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Saskia C.C.M.","family":"Teunissen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Everlien de","family":"Graaf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0338624.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjresp-2018-000397","article-title":"Safety and survival data in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis treated with nintedanib: pooled data from six clinical trials","volume":"6","author":"L Lancaster","year":"2019","journal-title":"BMJ Open Respir Res"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0338624.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1186\/s12890-018-0736-z","article-title":"Pirfenidone improves survival in IPF: results from a real-life study","volume":"18","author":"GA Margaritopoulos","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Pulm Med"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0338624.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1378\/chest.09-1002","article-title":"Incidence, prevalence, and clinical course of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a population-based study","volume":"137","author":"ER Fern\u00e1ndez P\u00e9rez","year":"2010","journal-title":"Chest"},{"issue":"22","key":"pone.0338624.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2071","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa1402584","article-title":"Efficacy and safety of nintedanib in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis","volume":"370","author":"L Richeldi","year":"2014","journal-title":"N Engl J Med"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0338624.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1016\/S2213-2600(18)30339-4","article-title":"Long-term safety and tolerability of nintedanib in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: results from the open-label extension study, INPULSIS-ON","volume":"7","author":"B Crestani","year":"2019","journal-title":"Lancet Respir Med"},{"key":"pone.0338624.ref006","author":"World Health Organisation"},{"issue":"2","key":"pone.0338624.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2202014","DOI":"10.1183\/13993003.02014-2022","article-title":"European Respiratory Society clinical practice guideline: palliative care for people with COPD or interstitial lung disease","volume":"62","author":"DJA Janssen","year":"2023","journal-title":"Eur Respir J"},{"key":"pone.0338624.ref008","unstructured":"IKNL\/Palliactief.
