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.
在癌症治疗之前和期间向患者提供信息是有帮助的。然而，所需或应提供的信息水平各不相同，且尚无研究对已切除结直肠肝转移瘤（CRLM）的患者进行过此类调查。本研究的目的是评估患者如何看待从不同医疗服务提供者那里获得的信息，并研究可能与所获信息的质量和满意度相关的因素。这是一项对2010年至2021年6月间接受了可能治愈性CRLM切除术的患者进行的横断面研究。患者完成了欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织QLQ - INFO25问卷。共有121例患者接受了手术。其中，85例存活并收到了问卷，52例（61%）作出了回应。总体而言，患者对所获信息非常满意，并认为其有帮助（中位数分数为100）。没有特定的患者或疾病相关因素与满意度相关。本研究表明，患者对提供给CRLM患者的信息总体满意度很高。改进的方面包括有关医院外其他支持服务的信息。这些信息可以由提供护理的专科医生提供，但也可以由患者的全科医生和癌症护士协调员提供。
