Description
Summary:Objective. This study aimed to compare the attitudes and preferences on cancer diagnosis disclosure (CDD) among suspicious lung cancer patients (SLCPs), lung cancer patients (LCPs), and their family members and to explore their associations with resilience. Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Yunnan Cancer Hospital in China, from March to August 2022. A total of 1016 participants including 254 SLCP-family pairs and 254 LCP-family pairs completed self-administered questionnaires to assess their attitudes toward CDD and resilience. Continuous variables were expressed by means and standard deviations, while categorical variables were presented by numbers and percentages. The comparisons between groups were tested by using a t-test or chi-squared test. Associations between resilience and CDD attitudes in the four groups were estimated by multivariate logistic regression models. Results. Compared with LCPs, more SLCPs believed that patients should be informed of their cancer diagnoses (63.8% vs 43.7%, p
