    Many patients struggle to recall informed consent details months after surgery. Accurate documentation of consent discussions in patient records is recommended to ensure comprehension and legal protection.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Ethics
    • Patient Comprehension
    • Surgical Procedures

    Background:

    • Informed consent is a cornerstone of ethical medical practice.
    • Ensuring patients understand surgical procedures and risks is crucial.
    • Long-term recall of complex medical information can be challenging for patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess patient recall of informed consent details.
    • To evaluate the accuracy of patient memory regarding surgical consent interviews.
    • To determine the time frame over which recall diminishes.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of patients was assessed for recall of informed consent.
    • Recall was tested between 4 and 6 months post-operation.
    • The study focused on the accuracy of memory for major portions of the consent interview.
    Keywords:
    Empirical Approach

    Main Results:

    • A significant number of patients (20) demonstrated poor recall.
    • Patients failed to accurately remember major parts of their informed consent interview.
    • Recall deficits were observed between 4 and 6 months post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Patient recall of informed consent is often inadequate long-term.
    • Detailed documentation of informed consent discussions in clinical records is advisable.
    • Improved documentation may enhance patient understanding and legal clarity.
