Resumen
Cuando una persona, a causa de una enfermedad, llega al final de su vida, ¿se debe de compartir esa información con la persona enferma? En el presente Trabajo fin de Grado se presenta una revisión bibliográfica sobre el concepto conocido como “conspiración de silencio”, mediante el cual tanto familiares como profesionales ocultan parcial o totalmente información al paciente sobre la gravedad de su diagnóstico. Asimismo, se presentan los motivos que llevan a la aparición de la conspiración de silencio y las consecuencias que tiene, como el alto impacto emocional que este fenómeno crea en los pacientes o la imposibilidad de aceptación y afrontamiento del proceso. También se describen pautas y técnicas para comunicar malas noticias de forma que la información se adapte a las necesidades del paciente y de la familia.
