Abstract:

 

Aims: The informed consent constitutes the legal validity of any medical intervention and treatment, and it provides the patient with information about the procedure. In this study, we aimed to assess the extent informed consent is being applied in Trakya University Hospital in accordance to Ministry of Health’s regulations.Methods: A data collecting form has been prepared with respect to Ministry of Health’s relevant regulations and it was applied to 78 inpatients. The form consists of 18 two-point statements and 4 questions towards the patient’s demographic profile. As for descriptive statistics, numbers and percentages have been used for the statements, thus arithmetic mean ± standard deviation (minimum-maximum) has been used for the questions, respectively.Results: Out of all included patients, 47 (60.3 %) participants did not have any knowledge about the Informed Consent Form, 24 (30.8%) did not sign the Form, 48 (61.5%) participants did not read the Form and 49 (62.8%) did not understand the Form.Conclusion: From the results of this study, it can be inferred that the extent patients are being informed is still not on intended levels and is not satisfactory. Informed Consent is still a topic to emphasize, improve and put into practice more effectively.
