Documento de voluntades anticipadas: actitud de los pacientes de atención primaria

Abstract

ObjetivoConocer la actitud de pacientes ambulatorios acerca del documento de voluntades anticipadas (DVA)DiseñoEstudio descriptivo transversal mediante cuestionario diseñado específicamenteEmplazamientoCentro de salud urbano de Palma de MallorcaParticipantesUn total de 132 usuarios de una consulta de atención primaria en Palma de Mallorca, atendidos entre el 21 de junio y el 15 de julio de 2002. Criterios de exclusión: < 40 años de edad, primera visita, importante afección física o psíquica durante la visita y neoplasia avanzadaMediciones PrincipalesLos pacientes recibieron información escrita sobre el DVA junto con el cuestionario autoadministrado que constaba de cinco preguntas cerradas y comentario libreResultadosSe recibieron 107 cuestionarios (81%). El 57,6% de quienes contestaron fueron mujeres. La mediana de edad fue de 55 (40–87) años. El 97% consideró interesante el DVA. El 39,3% aseguró que formalizaría un DVA y otro 39,3% lo creía posible. En caso de hacerlo, el 88,8% desearía hablarlo con familiares y el 73,8%, con el médico de familia. El 32,1% ya había hablado «claramente» con sus familiares sobre los cuidados finales y el 31,1%, «por encima». El 36,8% negó haberlo hablado. Al 86% no le resultó «nada incómodo» leer el documento. Treinta y ocho participantes escribieron comentarios sobre muerte digna, libertad para decidir, interés del DVA, importancia de estar informados y eutanasiaConclusionesLos participantes están claramente a favor del DVA, y se observa una amplia intención de formalizarlo; además, desean tratar el tema con sus familiares y médicos de familia, y pensar en ello no les incomoda. La legalización reciente del DVA puede ayudar a pacientes y médicos a hablar abiertamente sobre los cuidados al final de la vidaObjectiveTo find the attitude of health centre patients to the Document of Wishes stated in Advance (DWA)DesignDescriptive cross-sectional study using a specially designed questionnaireSettingUrban health centre in Palma de MallorcaParticipants132 users of a primary care clinic in Palma de Mallorca, seen between 21/6/2002 and 15/7/2002. Criteria for exclusion: <40 years old, first visit, major physical or psychological disease at time of visit and advanced neoplasiaMain MeasurementsPatients received written information on the DWA along with the selfadministered questionnaire that consisted of five closed questions and free commentResults107 questionnaires were received back (81%). 57.6% were women; and mean age was 55 (40–87). 97% thought the DWA was interesting. 39.3% said they would formalise a DWA and a further 39.3% thought it possible they would. If they did so, 88.8% wanted to discuss it with family members and 73.8% with their family doctor. 32.1% had already talked «clearly» with their family members about terminal care, and 31.1% had talked «in general terms». 36.8% said they had not talked about it. 86% found it «not at all uncomfortable» to read the document. 38 respondents wrote comments about a dignified death, freedom to decide, the relevance of the DWA, the importance of being informed and euthanasiaConclusionsParticipants were clearly in favour of the DWA and many fully intended to formalise it. They wanted to discuss the question with family members and their doctors. Thinking about it did not make them uncomfortable. The recent legalisation of the DWA may help patients and doctors to talk openly about care at the end of life
