Description:
Relevance of the work. The work done is relevant because the requirement for patient information is known to everyone working in the healthcare. The patient's rights to his awareness are regulated by law, but some patients do not receive the necessary information based on foreign research.
Work objective. Assess patients attitudes towards informed consent application.
Research tasks. 1. Describe the concept of informed consent from a historical and legal point of view. 2. Identify patients attitudes towards consent form, about providing information about him and his studying and treatment in a hospital. 3. Compare patients attitudes to the informed consent application, about providing information about him and his studying and treatment according to sociodemographic groups.
Research methods. In 2018 december a survey was conducted in x hospital in Kaunas using an anonymous questionnaire. All patients were enrolled in the study who were treated in the surgery wards that day. Patients with severe medical conditions were excluded from the study. A total of 60 questionnaires were distributed to patients and 53 questionnaires were returned (response rate 88%). The data was analyzed by microsoft excel program.
Results of work. It has been found that the majority of women are more likely to ask questions from nurses than men. The absolute majority replied that they had signed informed consent. Respondents with higher education usually indicate that the information they receive is partially sufficient (54%). The majority of patients (59%) indicated that they did not read informed patient consent. 51% of respondents indicated that it was not enough time to read the patient's informed consent. The vast majority of patients indicated in their consent a person who could be provided with information about his hospitalization and his state of health. 83% of respondents knew that students could participate in their treatment and nursing process.
Conclusions. Since ancient times, there have been changes in the medical field, in the relationship between medical staff and the patient. Laws, oaths, declarations and charters were adopted to ensure the patient well-being. The accomplished study showed that almost half of the patients thought that the information they were provided with was enough, slightly less respondents, indicated that the information provided was only partially sufficient for them. This shows people's greater need for information than they are given now. When comparing patients according to their education and need for knowledge, we note that people with higher education want more information
