Discussion

Cross-sectional study shows that awareness of living wills is low among Chinese cancer patients, suggesting a need for targeted education.

Only 53.52% of cancer patients had heard of living wills, highlighting low awareness among the population.
About 58.69% of patients expressed willingness to sign a living will after learning about it from the survey.
Higher education levels and improved self-care ability were linked to better knowledge and acceptance of living wills.
Promoting living wills initially to more educated patients may improve end-of-life care in cancer patients.

Hu et al. (2025) studied this question.
