“…We can see the great acceptance of the LW among medical students, as 80.1% of the sample analyzed would alter the patient's treatment to respect his/her wishes, a result similar to those of other studies 15,16 . However, among practicing physicians, acceptability falls to 47.6% 12, with 83% saying that specific legislation would give more security to apply the document.…”

Furthermore, in relation to the opportunity to discuss this issue during undergraduate studies, 47.9% of the students reported having done so 13 . This difference can be explained by the fact that the students in this study were at a later stage in their medicine course and therefore had more experience in clinical situations.…”
