Resumo
Este estudo avaliou informações em busca de comportamento de pacientes com câncer em cuidados paliativos no norte da Nigéria. O estudo foi orientado com duas hipóteses. O desenho da pesquisa foi utilizado para este estudo. A população para este estudo compreende todos os pacientes em cuidados paliativos que frequentam o Usman Danfudio Teaching Hospital, Sokoto; Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria e National Hospital, Abuja os três (3) hospitais foram selecionados propositalmente porque são o único hospital universitário que oferece radioterapia no norte da Nigéria e um total de quinhentos e oitenta e quatro (584) (University Teaching Hospital). O procedimento de amostragem de disponibilidade foi utilizado para o estudo. Para testar a confiabilidade do instrumento, foi empregado o método da metade da confiabilidade e o índice de confiabilidade de 0,85 foi obtido. A análise dos dados foi feita usando estatísticas descritivas de média, desvio padrão, contagens de frequência e porcentagem. O teste t e o qui-quadrado foram usados para testar hipóteses em nível 0,05 alfa de significância. Os resultados indicaram que há diferença significativa na busca de informações sobre o comportamento de pacientes com câncer nos cuidados paliativos no norte da Nigéria (P < 0,05) e não há diferença significativa entre homens e mulheres na busca de informações sobre o comportamento de pacientes com câncer nos cuidados paliativos no norte da Nigéria (P>0,05). foi recomendado que o governo e os profissionais de saúde organizassem programas para pacientes com câncer nos cuidados paliativos no norte da Nigéria, a fim de difundir a conscientização que fará com que os pacientes com câncer adquiram informações corretas sobre o manejo do câncer.
