This study investigated whether providers respected patient's autonomy, investigating providers' pattern of decisions and their associated characteristics.
Cross-sectional study, conducted through anonymous questionnaire with hypothetical clinical cases, presented to providers at one oncology center. Decision-making patterns were pre-stablished accordingly to the response´s pattern.
Of 151 responses, decisions patterns were paternalistic in 38%, shared in 38%, obstinate in 10.6% and consumerist in 13.2%. The consumerist providers reported never having participated in an EOL class in 35% and 30% had never trained in palliative care. Among providers with paternalistic pattern, 35.1% had never attended ethic lectures. In the obstinate group, 31.2% had no training in palliative care. When asked how subjects saw themselves about their pattern of decision, 100% of obstinate, 95% of consumerist and 89% of paternalistic patterns exhibited cognitive dissonance.
Significative differences between decisions and how the providers judge themselves were observed.

采用横断面研究方法,通过匿名问卷和肿瘤中心的临床案例,对医护人员进行调查。决策模式根据回答模式预先确定。
