Informed consent: can we educate patients?
J R Coll Surg Edinb.
1990 Oct.
Abstract
Previous reports have shown consent to be 'short' of informed in many cases. One hundred patients, including a control group, were interviewed between 2 and 7 days after their operations. Those given an information sheet before the operation had a better recall of their operations than the controls, the overall awareness being 97 and 69% respectively. This may have medico-legal implications but further studies are required.
