Background
Education in obtaining informed consent, combined with technical training using a stepwise approach, may improve resident knowledge of, confidence in, and frequency of obtaining consent for bedside procedures.Methods
Surgical trainees were randomized to receive a lecture on obtaining informed consent. Knowledge of, confidence in, and frequency of obtaining consent were assessed. Subsequent first-year residents received combined technical and consent training using a stepwise approach. Residents listed key steps for procedures before and after training, were observed for consent and technical competency on patients, and were assessed on frequency of obtaining consent by follow-up chart review.Results
Knowledge and confidence improved after lecture instruction, but consent rate (21%) did not. Stepwise training increased resident awareness of obtaining informed consent as a key step (19% to 77%) and increased frequency of obtaining consent (89% for proctored procedures and 79% in follow-up).Conclusions
Education alone improves knowledge but not practice of obtaining consent. Teaching the consent process concomitantly with technical training may increase awareness and performance of obtaining informed consent for bedside procedures. 相似文献2.
The informed consent process for emergency surgery in children poses a challenge for pediatric surgeons because the child and his/her surrogates (usually parents) must make medical decisions in a relatively short period. The unique circumstances of a surgical emergency create potential barriers to achieving the central goals of the informed consent process, respect for patient autonomy and beneficence. The purpose of this review is to provide a practical guide for pediatric surgeons on the informed consent process as it applies to emergency surgery in pediatric patients. We will also discuss innovative methods of preoperative education that can be adopted in the emergency setting and highlight areas in which further research might help to improve this important aspect of surgical care. 相似文献

BACKGROUND CONTEXT
Informed consent is mandatory before surgery and fundamental in the physician-patient interaction. However, communication is sometimes suboptimal.PURPOSE
The objective was to develop a question prompt list (QPL) for patients undergoing spine surgery (spinal neurosurgery-QPL, “SN-QPL”) to encourage them to acquire information during the informed consent consultation (ICC) and assess patients’ information needs.STUDY DESIGN/SETTING
We conducted a prospective uncontrolled single center study in order to develop a QPL for patients undergoing spine surgery.PATIENT SAMPLE
Patients inclusion criteria were as follows: (1) planned spinal surgery, (2) age 18 to 80 years, (3) legal capacity, (4) ability to understand and respond to questionnaires, and (5) informed consent.OUTCOME MEASURES
We applied the following self-report measures: the developed preliminary QPL with regard to surgery topics and assessment of patients’ information needs.METHODS
First, we performed a literature review, patient interviews, and two expert rounds. Subsequently, we validated a preliminary SN-QPL including 37 items before and after ICC with regard to importance of items and fulfillment of information needs in 118 patients. A principal component analysis followed by varimax rotation revealed the final SN-QPL.RESULTS
For the final version of the SN-QPL, 27 items with following four reliable subscales were derived with satisfactory internal consistency: (1) scale SN-QPL-C, “complications and possible postoperative deficits” (n??=??8 items, Cronbach α?=?0.88); (2) scale SN-QPL-P, “prognosis and follow-up” (n?=?8 items, Cronbach α?=?0.86); (3) scale SN-QPL-I, “preoperative inpatient stay and organizational issues” (n?=?5 items, Cronbach α?=?0.75); and (4) scale SN-QPL-S: “safety of the surgical procedure” (with n?=?6 items, Cronbach α?=?0.84). The most unmet information needs were found in SN-QPL-P. The item with the greatest unmet information needs was “How much professional experience does my surgeon have?”CONCLUSIONS
Our SN-QPL was well-accepted and perceived as helpful by patients awaiting spinal surgeries. It seems to address meaningful items and questions. It could therefore be useful in optimizing pre- and postoperative satisfaction. Further, our study identified many unaddressed questions warranting communication interventions. 相似文献4.

Patient advocacy may be necessary during medical care in the home or office as well as during hospitalization in either private or public sector care. Patients may choose a relative, a close friend or a physician as their patient advocate. The patient advocate may provide physical assistance and usually accompanies the patient throughout the course of disease. By agreeing to the presence of a patient advocate during visits, the patient implicitly acknowledges that confidentiality may be breached. Patient advocates may be particularly useful for the patient in case of severe disease or poor prognosis. The advocate becomes an intermediary contact and, at the same time, provides educational, relational and psychological support for the patient. The patient advocate should be consulted when the patient is incapable of making his own decisions. The patient advocate is supposed to be able to express the wishes of the patient, when the latter is incapable of doing so. The patient should therefore choose someone who, in his judgment, is competent to voice the patient's opinion for him. When the patient advocate remains at the patient's side at the end of life, whether in the hospital or at the patient's home, the advocate can benefit from "family solidarity leave" and obtain a daily stipend if this interrupts his or her professional activity. 相似文献
