ABSTRACT

La conspiración o pacto de silencio es el acuerdo por parte de familiares y profesionales de ocultar información sobre su proceso al paciente en situación terminal. OBJETIVOS: Conocer por qué se produce el pacto de silencio entre pacientes en situación terminal, sus cuidadores y profesionales sanitarios, explorar e identificar las actitudes, vivencias y opiniones de las personas cuidadoras familiares al mantener la conspiración de silencio a pacientes paliativos. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio cualitativo con enfoque fenomenológico. Realizado en Atención Primaria en la provincia de Sevilla. Recogida de datos mediante entrevista semiestructurada audiograbadas. Exploración de las áreas de la comunicación: conocimiento sobre diagnóstico y pronóstico de la enfermedad; transmisión de la información; reacción sobre las noticias recibidas; información conocida por el paciente, motivos; comunicación con la familia; comunicación con los profesionales sanitarios y afrontamiento ante la muerte. Análisis interpretativo. Población de estudio: Personas cuidadoras familiares de pacientes en cuidados paliativos, con sospecha de pacto de silencio. Elección de los participantes de forma intencional, hasta saturación de la información. Los resultados son: Bloqueo de la comunicación profesional-paciente por parte de la familia; engaños, mentiras para mantener el ocultamiento; sospecha de que el paciente conoce la verdad; ocultamiento del médico/a responsable de su proceso al paciente, atención paternalista; sentimientos de tristeza, pena, resignación, tranquilidad ante la enfermedad. CONCLUSIONES: El pacto de silencio tiene consecuencias en el afrontamiento de la muerte, calidad de vida de los últimos días y duelo. La comunicación entre pacientes, sus familias y profesionales sanitarios debería mejorar para prevenir el pacto de silencio y así ayudarles a afrontar la muerte
