Area of Science:

  • Medical Ethics
  • Surgical Patient Care

Background:

  • Informed consent is fundamental to ethical medical practice.
  • Ideally, it involves a surgeon-patient conversation for informed decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess patient information levels before surgical consent.
  • To determine consent form compliance with ethical standards.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study over 12 weeks in a tertiary care hospital.
  • Patient interviews and consent form reviews were conducted.

Main Results:
