Orem nursing theory was used as a conceptual framework. Participants were patients with advanced cancer and caregivers, 213 people for each group. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and an educative-supportive care needs and received questionnaire. Instrument’s verification obtained content validity index of 0.86 and cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.92. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, and Mann Whitney U test.</p><p>Findings showed that patients’ overall educative-supportive care needs and received were at moderate levels. No statistical different was found between educative-supportive care needs and received (Z = -.382, p = .703). Patient had needs regarding knowledge, guiding, and psychological support at high levels; and also received these needs at high levels. Caregivers’ overall educative-supportive care needs were at high levels, especially, needs regarding knowledge and guiding; whereas knowledge and guiding received were at moderate levels. It was found that caregivers’ overall educative-supportive care received was significantly statistical lower than needs (Z = -12.652, p &lt; .001). However, educative-supportive care received of patients and those of caregivers were not significantly different (p &gt; .05).</p> ER -
