Abstract

Background & Aim: INFORMED CONSENT has been considered as a basis of medical ethics. This study aimed to determine the QUALITY of INFORMED CONSENT process in INPATIENTs undergoing SURGERY in educational hospitals in Kashan.Materials and methods: In this cross sectional study, 300 random INPATIENTs were surveyed through a questionnaire before SURGERY in clinical wards. The questionnaire was included questions about disclosure of information, voluntary decisions, consent form understandability, and attention to physician-patients relationship factors. We analyzed the data based on percent of frequency, means and SD.Findings: The most patients (or surrogates) believed that they were not informed about benefits of SURGERY (45%), risk and consequences (55.7%), other alternative treatment (67%), duration of hospitalization (50.7%), and follow up after SURGERY (66.3%). 69% of them said that the consent form was understandable and consent form was not explained for 82.7% of them. About voluntary decisions, benefits and risks of other alternatives were not disclosed for patients (70.7%, 69.7%). 67.3% of them believed that they were not allowed to choose between alternatives, however, 43% were informed about the right to refuse suggested treatment. 68.7% had enough time to think and question about treatment; 59.7% believed that they could contact to physician; 72.7% were answered adequately; and 77% considered physicians’ explanations understandable.Conclusion: There is not enough INFORMED CONSENT observance, except for physician-patient interaction. Patients seem to be more informed about benefits, risk and consequences of SURGERY, other alternative treatments, benefits and risks of other alternatives, duration of hospitalization, follow-ups. In addition, explaining the consent form seems necessary.
