The purpose of this study is to compare the differences and similarities between Japanese students and Chinese students living in Okinawa, Japan, regarding their perceptions about informing patients with terminal stage cancer truthfully about their diagnosis and prognosis. The participants were 283 Japanese vocational school students and 145 Chinese university students. The study contained questions on demographic characteristics and on how the students themselves would want to be informed if they have terminal stage cancer, and how they preferred family members to be informed. The response rates were 90.8% for the Japanese students and 89.7% for the Chinese student. The result, showed similarities and differences between the Japanese and Chinese students in both seenanos; if the terminal stage cancer diagnosis was their own or if it was for a family member. Even though both groups preferred to be informed truthfully, it is cancer if they were the patients, there were significant differences in their reasons and the way they preferred to be informed about the prognosis. On the other hand, if family members were the patients, less students in both groups preferred to be informed truthfully of the disease and its prognosis. These findings, especially the different perceptions, indicate that both cultural background and nationality might influence patient and family preferences in discussions concerning terminal stage cancer and its prognosis. Understanding and respecting these cultural and national differences would enhance the health care provider's ability to effectively communicate the issues involved with terminal stage cancer, to patients as well as family members.
