Summary
This study introduces a six-element standard for physician-patient communication during informed consent (IC), enhancing shared decision-making. This framework aims to improve the quality of informed consent discussions and patient-centered interviews.
Area of Science:
- Medical Communication
- Patient-Physician Relationship
Background:
- Informed consent (IC) is a crucial communication process between physicians and patients.
- Effective IC ensures patients understand medical options and share preferences.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a standardized communication framework for physicians obtaining informed consent.
- To enhance the quality of physician-patient dialogue during the IC process.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of previous medical communication program dialogues.
- Comprehensive literature review on informed consent communication.
- Development of a six-element IC dialogue standard.
Main Results:
- The developed IC standard includes six key elements: opening, orientation, information disclosure, confirmation, shared decision-making, and closing.
- Effective IC communication is influenced by factors including preparation, attitude, empathy, listening, psychosocial elements, nonverbal cues, explanation, and understanding.
Conclusions:
- The proposed IC communication standard offers a valuable tool for improving physician-patient interactions during IC.
- This standard will serve as a guideline for communication educators and medical students.
- Further research and innovative strategies are necessary to refine IC counseling for patient-centered interviews.

Sharing information, concepts, and emotions to foster mutual understanding is communication. The sender, recipient, and transaction must be considered in this manner. The sender is the person who shares the message, the recipient is the person who receives and understands the message, and the transaction is the method used to deliver the message and the variables that affect the communication's context and surroundings. The nurse-client connection is built on therapeutic communication.

Communication between two animals occurs when one animal transmits an information signal that causes a change in the animal that receives the information. Organisms communicate with one another in a host of different ways. Signals can be auditory, chemical, visual, tactile, or a combination of these.
