Preferences for information about their disease and treatment were collected from 392 patients who had been treated for either breast or prostate cancer an average of 2 years previously. Type of information that they had received, their ratings of its value to them and their preferred format for further information were examined. The most common and most preferred form of information was through doctor interview, followed by educational booklets. Prostate cancer patients preferred videotapes; breast cancer patients tended to prefer individualized approaches including a tour of the department. Effects of age, educational levels, occupational backgrounds and self-reports for anxiety and depression at the time of the survey and at time of diagnosis were analysed. Prostate cancer patients who were most severely depressed showed a preference for not receiving any information at all, perhaps reflecting a tendency towards withdrawal.
我们收集了392名乳腺癌或前列腺癌患者的信息，这些患者平均在两年前接受过治疗，内容涉及他们对自身疾病及治疗信息的偏好。我们研究了他们所接收的信息类型、他们对这些信息价值的评分以及他们对进一步信息的首选形式。最常见且最受欢迎的信息形式是通过与医生面谈，其次是教育手册。前列腺癌患者更喜欢录像带；乳腺癌患者则倾向于个性化的方式，包括参观科室。我们分析了年龄、教育水平、职业背景以及调查时和诊断时焦虑与抑郁的自我报告的影响。抑郁最严重的前列腺癌患者表现出根本不想接收任何信息的倾向，这或许反映出一种退缩的趋势。
