Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Clinical Research
  • Patient Advocacy

Background:

  • Informed consent is a cornerstone of ethical clinical research and patient care.
  • Numerous factors can impede a patient's ability to provide truly informed consent.
  • Understanding these barriers is crucial for healthcare professionals, particularly oncology nurses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize the barriers that may limit an adult's capacity to provide informed consent.
  • To equip oncology nurses with knowledge regarding informed consent challenges.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of published articles, research studies, and review articles was conducted.
  • Literature focused on informed consent within the context of clinical research.

Main Results:

  • Patient-centered barriers include factors like age, educational background, and the severity of illness.
  • Process-centered barriers involve the content and readability of consent forms, the timing of discussions, and the allocated time for the process.
  • These combined barriers can significantly affect the quality of informed consent.

Conclusions:

  • Awareness of patient-centered and process-centered barriers is essential for oncology nurses.
  • Minimizing these barriers can enhance the informed consent process for patients undergoing cancer treatment.
  • Facilitating substantial informed consent is a key nursing responsibility.
