This review debunks ten common myths about informed consent (IC) that undermine its ethical and legal quality. Addressing these misconceptions is crucial for improving healthcare practices and patient rights.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Legal Medicine
  • Healthcare Professionalism

Context:

  • The current understanding and application of informed consent (IC) among healthcare professionals are often based on misconceptions.
  • These myths lead to imprecise viewpoints and lower ethical and juridical standards in patient care.

Purpose:

  • To identify and critically analyze ten prevalent myths surrounding informed consent.
  • To expose the underlying discourse of these myths to facilitate a shift in professional practices.

Summary:

  • The review examines ten myths, including the separation of IC from moral duties, equating IC with form-signing, and misconceptions about patient autonomy, refusal rights, and decision-making capacity.
  • It challenges the notion that IC is solely the responsibility of certain professionals or can be achieved without resource investment.
