摘要

Information provision to patients is helpful prior to and during cancer treatment. However, the level of information required or warranted varies, and no studies have examined this in patients who have had resection of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). The aims of this study are to assess how patients perceive information received from different healthcare providers and to examine factors that might be associated with the quality and satisfaction of the information received. This was a cross-sectional study of patients with a potentially curative resection for CRLM between 2010 and June 2021. Patients completed the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-INFO25 questionnaire. In total, 121 patients underwent resection. Of these, 85 were alive and were sent the questionnaire, and 52 (61%) responded. Overall, patients were very satisfied with the information they received and found it helpful (median score 100). No specific patient or disease-related factors were associated with the degree of satisfaction. This study demonstrates excellent overall satisfaction with the information provided to patients with CRLM. Areas of improvement include information about other supportive services outside the hospital. This information may be given by the specialists providing the care but may also be provided by the patient’s general practitioners and the cancer nurse coordinators.
