Purpose/Context.
Identify through a questionnaire if people with different sociodemographic characteristics living in the Mexican Republic know the importance of the Advance Will Law (LVA).
Methodology/Approach.
An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional quantitative study was performed. An opinion survey of the general population was carried out with a national representation; the margin of error was +/- 3.46% with a confidence level of 95%.
Results/Findings.
49.6% of the people surveyed do not know the LVA and 41.4% consider that it would help people to have a dignified death. As for the question of whether this law exists in their state, 63% think they do not know; and regarding the question of whether in the state in which they live it is necessary to implement the LVA, 41.3% totally agree.
Discussion/Conclusions/Contributions.
In this study it was observed that the population does not have information about this law and expresses their interest in knowing and affirming that they agree with a dignified death, avoiding suffering and pain.
