Informed consent recall is poor, with only 12.6% actively remembering details. Increasing documented information and patient-doctor interaction significantly improves patient recall of informed consent details.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Law
  • Patient Communication
  • Surgical Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Lawsuits citing insufficient informed consent are common, impacting medical practice.
  • Understanding patient recall of informed consent is crucial for improving the process.
  • Current informed consent procedures show significant variability in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the clinical process of obtaining informed consent.
  • To assess patient recall of informed consent information 3-7 days post-operation.
  • To identify factors influencing patient recall of informed consent.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 104 patients undergoing surgical procedures.
  • Assessed informed consent documentation, patient recall (active and passive), and patient/physician interaction.

  • Utilized Mini Mental State Test for cognitive function assessment and analyzed demographic/clinical factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Informed consent documentation varied widely (2-18 items).
    • Patient recall was low: 12.6% active recall, 43.5% passive recall.
    • Only the number of documented items significantly impacted recall; increased patient-doctor interaction also improved recall.

    Conclusions:

    • The process of obtaining informed consent is highly variable and often inadequately documented.
    • Patient recall of informed consent information is generally poor.
    • Enhancing documentation and patient-physician interaction are key to improving informed consent comprehension and reducing litigation risk.
