Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Patient Safety
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • First-year residents frequently obtain informed consent without formal prior training.
  • This lack of training can impact patient communication and safety.
  • Assessing the effectiveness of targeted educational interventions is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a novel educational program on first-year residents' comfort and confidence in obtaining informed consent.
  • To determine if structured training improves residents' perceived ability to manage the informed consent process.

Main Methods:

  • An educational program incorporating didactic sessions, role-playing, and standardized patient simulations was developed.
  • First-year surgery and emergency medicine residents at a tertiary care hospital participated.
  • Pre- and post-intervention surveys assessed residents' confidence and knowledge, with data analyzed using the signed-rank test.

Main Results:

  • Prior to the intervention, only 37.5% of residents had received formal informed consent training.
  • Post-intervention, residents demonstrated significantly increased confidence in describing the consent process, completing forms, and obtaining consent.
  • 100% of participants recommended the program for future residents, citing its effectiveness in enhancing knowledge and comfort.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive educational program significantly enhances first-year residents' confidence and competence in obtaining informed consent.
  • The combination of didactic, role-play, and simulation methods is effective in improving this essential clinical skill.
  • Such training is vital for improving patient care and resident preparedness.
