English

Subject field(s)
  • Health Law
CONT

Informed refusal, which is the patient's right to refuse treatment, is part of the informed consent process. If a patient refuses treatment, the physician is legally obligated to advise the individual about the risks of not having treatment.

CONT

The consent process should be viewed as continuous, from the initial information received by subjects (i.e., recruitment) to the debriefing and feedback given to subjects. Subjects may choose to withdraw at any point in this process.

CONT

Effecting a proper consent necessitates completion of the so-called "consent process". The process ... involves far more than acquiring a signature on a consent form. It requires effective communication skills and an on-going, working relationship of trust between the care-giver and the recipient of treatment.

CONT

Typically, the process of informed consent involves: information sheets containing an explanation of the purpose of the research, expected duration of participation, and procedure.

CONT

The informed-consent process needs to be adapted to different cultures. Information should be communicated in a culturally appropriate manner and in appropriate languages, which means that written materials may need to be translated or adapted.
