The results have shown that 36.54% of the caregivers did not recognize that there was no possibility of cure, while 16.35% were uncertain, adding up to a total of 52.89% of people who did not know the prognostic of the patients. 58.65% of the participants believe that measures to extend the life of the patient with an incurable condition should be taken.
