Resumen

: Objective: to study the desire for information in patients with avanzado cancer, and the variables associated with it. Method: Ninety patients with avanzado cancer were evaluated through a structured interview about the information of their disease of the following types: Diagnosis, cure, severity, goal of treatment and time for the end of life, and their desire to have information about each of these five types of information. In addition, sociodemographic and clinical data were collected and administered: the Functional Capacity Scale, the Charlson Comorbidity Index and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Results. The results showed that most patients are informed about the diagnosis and its severity, but scarcely about the goals of treatment, cure and end-of-life. Of the uninformed patients, 77.8% (14) wanted to know the diagnosis, 60.0% (11) the severity, 77.8% (35) the treatment goal, 76.7% (24 ) healing and 34.4% (10) end-of-life. The variables associated with the desire for: a) diagnostic information were: having a younger primary caregiver (p=.023); with a partner (p=.018), non-religious (p=.025) and a greater number of visits to the emergency room (p=.004); b) severity information were: being young (p=.009); with a partner (p=.04), and low depression (p=.009); C). Information about the goals of treatment: being young (p=.001), being in a relationship (p=.04), and low depression (p=.001). d) information about healing: being a man (p=.018), with a partner (p=.04), not religious (p=.023). In the case of lifetime information, no significant difference was found. Conclusions: it is necessary to evaluate the information and desires that patients have about the different types of information, so the creation of a standardized tool in future research is a priority. Most patients with advanced cancer are informed about the diagnosis and severity, but there is a lack of information about the cure, the goals of treatment and, above all, about the end-of-life. It is important that a high percentage of patients who are not informed do desire to receive information, mainly about the objectives of the treatment and the curative effect, especially the younger ones, with a partner and non-religious and with low symptoms of depression. An optimal quality of care for patients with avanzado cancer requires satisfy their desires for information
