: Malnutrition in cancer patients may significantly affect various aspects of the quality of life, outcomes, and prognosis, while satisfaction with the information provided may also influence these aspects. This study aims to assess the nutritional status of Polish cancer patients and its association with the level of information received, their potential need for more information, and the resultant quality of life. : A cross-sectional study was conducted in 104 cancer patients. Validated European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-INFO25 were used, and nutritional assessment was conducted using Subjective Global Assessment (SGA). : Male patients reported receiving more information than females about the disease, treatment, and care options, as well as greater satisfaction, and a higher overall score. Patients receiving enteral nutrition were more satisfied compared to those not receiving it, even if the scores for the information obtained within the specific areas did not differ, but they still wished to receive more information. Older patients reported higher scores than younger patients, indicating a higher level of information received regarding medical tests and higher satisfaction. The EORTC QLQ-INFO25 global score showed strong or moderate positive correlations with the majority of modules, and the level of information provided significantly influenced satisfaction. : Female patients, those not receiving enteral nutrition, and young patients were less satisfied with the information received, which may negatively influence their quality of life. Effective communication with patients highlights the need for personalized informational support to enhance quality of life.
癌症患者的营养不良可能会显著影响生活质量、治疗结果和预后的各个方面，而对所提供信息的满意度也可能影响这些方面。本研究旨在评估波兰癌症患者的营养状况及其与所获信息水平、对更多信息的潜在需求以及由此产生的生活质量之间的关联。
在104名癌症患者中进行了一项横断面研究。使用了经过验证的欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织问卷EORTC QLQ-C30和EORTC QLQ-INFO25，并采用主观全面评定法（SGA）进行营养评估。
男性患者报告称，他们在疾病、治疗和护理选择方面获得的信息比女性更多，满意度更高，总体得分也更高。接受肠内营养的患者比未接受肠内营养的患者更满意，即使在特定领域获得的信息得分没有差异，但他们仍希望获得更多信息。老年患者的得分高于年轻患者，表明他们在医学检查方面获得的信息水平更高，满意度也更高。EORTC QLQ-INFO25总体得分与大多数模块呈强或中度正相关，所提供的信息水平显著影响满意度。
女性患者、未接受肠内营养的患者和年轻患者对所获信息的满意度较低，这可能会对他们的生活质量产生负面影响。与患者进行有效的沟通突出了提供个性化信息支持以提高生活质量的必要性。
