Abstract

In the practice of medicine, TRUTH TELLING involves the provision of information not simply to enable patients to make informed choices about health care and other aspects of their lives but also to inform them about their situation. Patients may have an interest in medical information regardless of whether that information is required to make a decision about medical treatment.Material and methods: To assess the physician attitude about TRUTH TELLING a questionnaire was given to general practitioners and specialists in medical conferences and after completion the questionnaire returned and analyzed.Results: 400 physicians completed the questionnaire 35% of them believed that patients have rights to know about their illness and it's prognosis and treatment, on the other hand 6% believed that it is not any right for patients to know about their illness and 59% believed that telling the truth must be under the specific situations. Emotional stability and socioeconomic situations were the most effective factors for decision for TRUTH TELLING. In response to a question about "How much information must tell to patients?" 44% of physicians told that "the physician must decide about this by self concept" 65% of physicians told that a doctor can tell the patient's information to the family without patient permission 78% of physicians believed that telling the truth may simplified diagnosis and treatment processes and 70% believed that TRUTH TELLING can decreases legal complains.Conclusion: Due to this research most of the Iranian physician wants to tell the truth to their patient but they believe that make decision about this mostly is under supervision of physician Opinion.
