Informed consent is not always required. If a person is found to be incapable of giving informed consent, another person is generally authorized to give consent on their behalf, for example.

After announcing the date and time of the information event, the research staff distributed a brochure addressed to half of the children to their caregivers, which was developed by the research team and local staff and adapted to the local culture and conditions (Supplementary Act 2). Figure 1 describes the curriculum in each of the support groups. We are grateful to all the children who participated in the clinical trial and their caregivers who gave us some time to conduct the interviews. We would also like to thank the teachers at Piki Primary School for their continued support.

Finally, we would like to thank all the staff of the Ivo de Carneri Public Health Laboratory, especially Bim, Muzdat, Fatawi and Dadi, for their excellent performance as interviewers. ”Well, Mr. Jones, did you really spend 45 minutes doing that, Ms. Smith, or just the 10 minutes as she claims? Have you thought about taking note of the length of your consultation and have you given him written information about the general risks of your proposal? Did you show her any pictures and suggest a second consultation to make sure she really understands…? While the importance of informed consent is undisputed, there is controversy as to the nature and feasibility of informed consent. Nevertheless, there is a broad consensus that the consent process can be analysed in such a way that it contains three elements: information, understanding and volunteerism. Patients often idealize surgeons and accept surgical recommendations without meaningfully participating in the decision-making process (McNeally and Martin, 2000). As a result, the surgeon has an increased responsibility to solicit feedback from patients during the consent process. By allowing the patient to ask questions and approve surgical procedures, the surgeon also strengthens the patient`s relationship and opens the door to a process of continuous communication before, during and after treatment (Jones et al., 2007). In terms of content, the doctor must ensure that the patient understands the goals of treatment, the general nature of the procedure to be performed, as well as the expected results, including what to expect in the immediate postoperative period.

Research on children has helped society in many ways. The only effective way to establish normal growth and metabolic patterns is to conduct research on infants and young children. When it comes to the issue of children`s informed consent, the main answer is parental consent. This is true although only legal guardians can consent for a child, not adult siblings. [37] In addition, parents cannot order the end of the treatment necessary to keep a child alive, even if they believe it is in the best interests. [37] Guardians are usually involved in children`s consent, but a number of doctrines have been developed that allow children to receive health-related treatments without parental consent. For example, emancipated minors may consent to medical treatment, and minors may also consent in an emergency. [37] Unlike most of the Commission`s other reports, the Belmont Report does not contain specific recommendations on the administrative actions taken by the Minister of Health, Education and Welfare. Instead, the Commission recommended that the Belmont Report be adopted in its entirety as a statement of ministry policy. The Ministry is seeking public comment on this recommendation. The waiver of the consent requirement may be applied in certain circumstances where no foreseeable harm can be expected from the study, or where permitted by law or federal law, or where an ethics review board has approved the non-disclosure of certain information. [6] ”Justice must not only be done, but it must be seen that it is done,” and so is it with informed consent.

Surgeons need written proof of what they have advised a patient to do. You will be found guilty as many times as when you prove your innocence (Fig. 1.1). It is important to indicate a percentage of risk of the occurrence of the various complications you describe. It is also important to discuss the possible consequences of complications, rather than simply giving a list of the names of complications. For example, in breast reduction, it makes sense to tell a patient that most infections are of minor importance, but about 1% to 2% of breast infections after breast reduction can be absolutely devastating, ruining the outcome and causing months of pain and morbidity. The philosophical basis of autonomy, as interpreted by the philosophers Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) and accepted as an ethical principle, is that all human beings should have intrinsic and unconditional value and should therefore have the power to make rational and moral decisions, and everyone should be allowed to exercise their capacity for self-determination [9]. This ethical principle was reaffirmed in 1914 in a court decision of Judge Cardozo with the epigrammatic saying: ”Every person in adulthood and in a healthy mind has the right to determine what should happen to his own body” [10].
