Background: Understanding the medical decision-making and information disclosure preferences is important for care quality. Objectives: To examine the feasibility of using the questionnaires and to identify modifications needed in the following study. Design: Thirty-three pairs of patients with advanced cancers and their caregivers were asked to complete the questionnaires. Results: More than 60% of patients and caregivers had an educational level of middle school and below. The active, passive, or shared decision-making preferences for patients were 33.3%, 39.4%, and 27.3%, respectively. Twenty of 33 patients and 24 of 33 caregivers misunderstood the questions. Conclusions: Low educational levels may be the reason for poor understanding imprecision. It is necessary to use the modification version of the questionnaires in developing countries.
