The next era of medicine will be one of personalization, scientists and physicians promise. Personalized medicine is a refined clinical approach in which clinicians will utilize your genomic information to help you prevent disease, and tailor targeted therapies for you when you fall ill. This is the future science has slowly been approaching. However, the human genome is not enough, not unless we can decipher its language. One ambitious study to this effect is the Personal Genome Project, led by Dr. George Church at Harvard Medical School. This project will eventually recruit 100,000 volunteers to donate their genomes and a full body of information concerning their biological health. With this data, Church hopes others can cross-analyze these profiles and better determine the role in disease of each gene of the human genome. However, the Personal Genome Project is as much a study in the ethical, legal and social aspects of genomic studies as it is an effort toward personalized medicine. Church envisions a future where privacy cannot be guaranteed. Society is becoming more open and technology is more invasive than ever. Considering this, Church has informed his participants that their information will likely not remain anonymous. With their fully informed consent, he has in turn made all this data public, to promote open science. This ethical approach raises several important questions about expansive genomic studies. The scientific community will have to decide on an approach that will eventually deliver personalized medicine. On one end of the spectrum, there is Church's open approach, and the other, more security, more firewalls and more legislation. In order for personalized medicine to become a reality, society will have to prepare itself for our ever-changing ethical, technological and scientific landscape.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background Informed Consent (IC) has been proposed as the optimal method for ensuring the ethical entry of patients into clinical trials. IC is a vital part of the research process and as such entails more than obtaining a signature on a form. The IC must be given freely, without coercion, and must be based on a clear understanding of what participation involves. Aim The overall aim of this study was to attain an understanding of participants' knowledge regarding informed consent when participating in a research project. Methods The study was conducted at two public hospitals in a city in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The quantitative study used descriptive survey design. A self administered questionnaire was used as a tool for data collection. Results The sample size consisted of 170 women with an average of 25.9 years. The majority had completed secondary level education. More than half of the participants did not have knowledge of the purpose of the original study. The majority of participants did not have knowledge of their responsibilities. Forty-two percent gave uninformative responses and 26% indicated they did not know their responsibilities. None of the participants understood the concept of randomization. The majority (85.9%) of participants indicated that information provided on the IC forms was sufficient for them to decide to participate. Conclusion Despite extensive efforts to ensure that participants understood their participation in the original studies, this study found poor recall of vital information for IC. A signed informed consent does not guarantee that participants understand information given. Recommendations The existing methods of communicating and obtaining of an informed consent seem to be insufficient for participants to make an informed decision. A new approach with more interactive features such as combination of audio-visual techniques might increase the possibilities of the understanding.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Agtergrond Ingeligte toestemming (IT) is voorgestel as die optimale metode om die etiese toelating van die pasiënte vir kliniese toetse te verseker. IT is 'n belangrike deel van die navorsingsproses en as sodanig behels dit meer as die verkryging van 'n handtekening op 'n vorm. Die IT moet vrylik gegee word, sonder dwang en moet gebaseer wees op 'n duidelike begrip van wat die deelname behels. Doel Die algemene doel van hierdie studie is om 'n begrip van die deelnemers se kennis met betrekking tot ingeligte toestemming te bepaal, wanneer hulle deelneem aan 'n navorsingsprojek. Metodes Die studie is uitgevoer by twee openbare hospitale in ’n stad in die Oos-Kaap in Suid-Afrika. Die navorsingsontwerp is beskrywend van aard en ’n kwantitatiewe benadering is toegepas. ‘n Self-geadministreerde vraelys is as 'n instrument gebruik om data in te samel. Resultate Die steekproefgrootte het bestaan uit 170 vroue met 'n gemiddelde ouderdom van 25.9 jaar. Die meerderheid van die vroue het opleiding tot op sekondêre vlak. Meer as die helfte van die deelnemers het geen kennis van die doel van die oorspronklike studie gehad nie. Die meerderheid van die deelnemers het ook nie kennis van hul verantwoordelikhede gehad nie. Twee-en-veertig persent het nie toepaslike antwoorde gegee nie en 26% het aangedui dat hulle nie weet wat hul verantwoordelikhede in die studie is nie. Nie een van die deelnemers het die konsep van verewekansiging verstaan nie. Die meerderheid (85.9%) van die deelnemers het aangedui dat die inligting wat deur die IT verskaf word voldoende was om te besluit of hulle aan die studie wou deelneem. Gevolgtrekking Ten spyte van uitgebreide pogings om te verseker dat deelnemers hulle deelname verstaan het in die oorspronklike toetsing, het hierdie studie die swak herroeping van belangrike inligting aangaande IT bewys. ‘n Ondertekende ingeligte toestemming gee geen waarborg dat die deelnemers die inligting waarvoor toestemming geteken is, verstaan nie. Aanbevelings Die bestaande metodes van die kommunikasie en verkryging van ingeligte toestemming blyk onvoldoende te wees om deelnemers ingeligte besluite te laat neem. ‘n Nuwe benadering met meer interaktiewe eienskappe soos ’n kombinasie van oudio-visuele tegnieke mag die moontlikhede om te verstaan, meer duidelik maak.

Full textSome scholars argue that the principle of voluntary informed consent is rooted in the Western ethos of liberal individualism; that it would be difficult to implement this requirement in societies where the norms of decision-making emphasize collective rather than individual decision-making (for example, Sub-Saharan Africa); that it would amount to “cultural imperialism” to seek to implement the principle of voluntary informed consent in non-Western societies. This thesis rejects this skepticism about the possibility of implementing the informed consent requirement in non-Western environments and argues that applying the principle of voluntary informed consent in human subjects’ research in Sub-Saharan African communal culture could serve as an effective measure to protect vulnerable subjects from possible abuses or exploitations. The thesis proposes the “multi-step” approach to informed consent as the best approach to the implementation of the principle in the African communal setting. The thesis argues that the importance of the “multi-step” approach lies in the fact that it is one that is sensitive to local culture and customs. On the question of whether the principle of voluntary informed consent should be made compulsory in research, the thesis answers that we have no choice in the matter.

Full textBien que le consentement éclairé soit une partie intégrante de la médecine contemporaine, un fossé entre les objectifs éthiques et les connaissances psychologiques demeure présent. En effet, malgré l'accumulation de preuves scientifiques démontrant l'influence du formulaire de consentement sur le comportement humain, les médecins et bioéthiciens considèrent rarement ce dernier comme ayant un impact thérapeutique. Nous explorons ici la possibilité de percevoir cette norme de diligence comme étant à la fois une obligation éthique du milieu clinique et une procédure thérapeutique pouvant, probablement par le biais d'un effet placebo, aider ou nuire à la santé de l'individu.En premier lieu, dans une revue de la littérature nous examinons l'historique et les composantes du processus de consentement éclairé et étudions comment ce dernier correspond aux principes de la bioéthique et aux modèles de relation entre les patients et les professionnels de la santé. Nous explorerons également les mécanismes psychologiques importants dans le processus de consentement et dans la pratique clinique, comme par exemple les effets placebo et nocebo. Mettant en pratique cette information, nous proposons une attirante suggestion dans l'utilisation du processus de consentement éclairé qui promet de rééquilibrer l'harmonie entre les principes éthiques d'autonomie et de non-malfaisance, lesquels ont tendance à s'affronter dans l'utilisation traditionnelle de ce processus. Notre suggestion servira également d'intervention qui aidera au processus de guérison. Enfin, la revue littéraire expliquera les préoccupations éthiques comprises dans l'utilisation des placebos, comme par exemple la déception, l'abus de confiance et la manipulation, puis détaillera en quoi l'utilisation de l'effet placebo dans le processus de consentement contrebat ces problèmes éthiques.En second lieu, nous cherchons à savoir si le processus de consentement éclairé peut effectivement fonctionner comme une intervention thérapeutique autonome. Plus précisément, nous avons testé si des suggestions administrées au cours du processus de consentement peuvent produire un effet placebo influençant l'expérience thérapeutique de patients suite à l'extraction chirurgicale des troisièmes molaires. Nous avons menée cette étude à l'Hôpital Général Juif de Montréal et avons utilisé un échantillonnage aléatoire afin de s'assurer de la validité des résultats. Les résultats de cette étude pilote indiquent qu'une légère modification de l'information et de la teneur générale du formulaire de consentement suffit pour réduire la sévérité des symptômes évalués sur l'échelle de sévérité des symptômes postopératoires [Postoperative Symptom Severity Scale], ainsi que pour réduire les indices de douleur du Questionnaire sur la douleur de McGill [McGill Pain Questionnaire]. En effet, nos résultats démontrent qu'une modification des attentes des patients lors du processus de consentement peut éliminer, ou du moins réduire, les symptômes reliés à l'expérience postopératoire.Finalement, nous étudions les facteurs de risque souvent considérés comme ayant un impact sur la guérison suite à l'extraction chirurgicale d'une troisième molaire. L'analyse incluait les attentes des patients concernant la sévérité des symptômes post-chirurgicaux. Des coefficients standardisés ont indiqué que, parmi les variables étudiées (âge, sexe, nombre de dents extraites, difficulté de l'extraction, temps d'opération, intervention et attentes des patients), les attentes des patients sont les meilleurs prédicteurs des résultats postopératoires. Ces résultats démontrent l'importance des attentes préopératoires sur la prédiction des symptômes et de leur sévérité chez des patients en rémission chirurgicale.

Full textHealthcare systems are under pressure to eliminate disparities of care. Communication methods used with Limited English Proficiency (LEP) patients was presented in the literature as an essential component to deliver quality and equal care. Several strategies have been implemented to assess and target the communication methods between patients and health care teams. The challenge for health systems workers is to address communication barriers to eliminate disparities of care and medical errors. The purpose of the present qualitative case study was to explore if communication barriers affect the understanding of LEP research participants while participating in the informed consent process during clinical trials. Communication barriers during the informed consent process may affect clinical trial outcomes. In the study, the use of a triangulation data gathering method was associated with a qualitative case study. Data regarding barriers of communication during the informed consent process were gathered by performing semistructured interviews. The study population included six principal investigators, five interpreters, and nine LEP research participants. Data analysis involved reviewing the emerging themes from participants’ responses. Results indicated four major themes supporting communication challenges. The themes included authority figure, cultural sensitivity, communication barriers, and education. The study suggested the need for further research regarding communication barriers during the clinical trials process.

In the current healthcare landscape, parents generally make decisions regarding whether or not their children are allowed to take part in clinical research, with the general assumption being that parents know what is best for children. Investigations have been conducted regarding what is likely to lead parents to consent or not consent to their child’s participation in a trial, but research plans seldom incorporate the consideration that not all parents come into the consent process with equal social, academic, and economic footing. Since the burden of the ultimate decision lies primarily on the parents, it is supremely important that they are capable of making a well-informed and thoughtful choice. Bioethical understanding of the influence of parental decisions in clinical research must consider demographic variables and how they may affect parents’ decisions to allow or disallow their child to participate in a clinical trial. Those differences could affect the consent process and have ramifications for the research findings, as research results are affected in numerous ways by which children do, and do not, participate in studies. This paper looks specifically at parents in the process of informed consent for pediatric research, taking into account several social determinants of health and how they affect who participates in research and how that affects research as a whole.

In the lack of comprehensive studies of dental care and informed consent, dentists in Taiwan in genera do not know what is informed consent, let alone how to practice it. The central focus of this research is about dental care and informed consent, its legal implications and practical problems. The author wishes to examine and clarify various problems that exist in dental care and informed consent, so as to search for appropriate solutions. To achieve this goal, broadly reviewed international literatures and tried to create a strong analytical framework. This study concluded that not only is the patient population developing stronger personal opinions regarding dental care, but also patients who desire a role in the decision-making process of their dental health are gradually gaining respect from the medical community. As traditional dentistry changes in dramatic ways and medical malpractice suits increase in frequency, there is a greater need for emphasis on informed consent. Given the fact that more and more dental treatments are by nature selective, respect to patient autonomy should play a significant role in the dentist-patient relationship and it is urged that more attentions should be paid to assure truthfully practice of informed consent in daily clinical reality.

Full textAccess to healthcare for homeless persons is a significant problem within the United States. However, as barriers are lessened through federally funded or philanthropic organizations, attention must be paid to ensuring quality healthcare. The homeless population has disproportionately high rates of substance abuse, mental health disorders, and traumatic brain injuries. This places these patients at greater risk for lacking capacity to consent. This study was designed to examine the informed consent practices of healthcare practitioners in the primary care setting of clinics having received the federal Healthcare for the Homeless grant. Due to the poor response rate, no data of statistical significance were obtained and the study was treated as a pilot study. Patient demographics closely mirrored national statistics of homelessness excepting ethnicity. Likewise, patients seen in these clinics experience high rates of substance abuse and mental health disease. Providers reported only low rates of traumatic brain injuries in their population, contrary to national statistics demonstrating high rates of this disorder. Despite the high prevalence of risk factors for incapacity to consent, providers rarely questioned their patients’ decisional capacity. Practices involving informed consent varied widely. Further studies need to be conducted to evaluate informed consent practices though it is apparent that studies of this nature may be impractical and unethical, if not impossible.

A new Model Surgical Consent Form (SC Form) was put into effect on Jan. 1, 2004, which was designed to facilitate doctor-patient communication so as to promote patient autonomy. Does the new form really bring in a new practice in clinical reality? Given the general style of the new form, it is essential for hospitals to design a more detailed Surgical Explanation Form (SE Form) to aid patient understanding. This study is to investigate whether the SC and SE forms now in use in hospitals meet accepted standards of informed consent, and whether they deliver needed medical information? To answer the above-mentioned questions, this study collected 48 SE forms about 8 cardiac surgeries in 6 major hospitals in Northern Taiwan. Then, this study created a 32-item list of necessary content of informed consent by reviewing related literatures. The 48 SE forms were examined accordingly for evidence of the basic elements of informed consent (nature of the procedure, risks, benefits, and alternatives) and items that might enhance patient-physician interactions and encourage shared decision making. The study findings are as followed: (1) 4 items, including name of disease, reason of suggested operation, name of suggested operation, and responsible surgeon, appeared in all 48 SE forms. (2) 13 items, such as body part to be operated, prognosis of refusal of surgery, approximate time of operation, prognosis, fees and charges, etc, were not mentioned in all 48 SE forms. (3) The rest 15 items are displayed in minor different style. In general, information about risks, complications, and alternatives are most apparent in the reviewed forms. This study revealed that there is no big difference among hospitals in information-giving. Though most SE forms contain much information, to truly facilitate patient autonomy, the current SE form does not provide enough and necessary information.

To protect patients’ autonomy, informed consent imposes a duty upon physicians to share information with their patients before getting consent. However, there is a huge gap between the legal and medical professions. Furthermore, the criteria of informed consent in trails are not consistent. Extending the scope of informed consent unlimitedly to impose liability upon physicians for the cases with unfavorable outcomes will lead to defense medicine and deteriorate the physician-patient relationship. In the current thesis, we examined trials regarding inform consent and summarized the rules of informed consent in other countries to make some suggestions about the scope and standards of informed consent. In addition, Department of Health is promoting the patient-safety reporting system actively. This reporting system asks the physicians to report their medical errors voluntarily to prevent the secondary damage by medical errors. This system aims to improve patients’ safety and to improve medical quality. However, current rules do not exempt physicians from liability and the document regarding their medical errors could be used as evidence in trials to prove physicians’ liability. Further policy arguments about the system of reporting errors by improving the incentives of physicians should be the key issue to implement this system.

The researcher used both quantitative and qualitative methods to investigate the content of informed consent forms which are used in 44 student counseling centers of universities in Taiwan and clients’ experiences involved in informed consent process in psychotherapy. The investigation of 44 informed consents forms were analyzed and presented by using descriptive statistics. The elements included in informed consent forms are itemized, and the content and format of informed consent vary depending upon the schools. The limits of confidentiality, the right to request or to refuse any particular treatment technique or to withdraw from therapy at any time and the right to request a referral to another therapist are the elements which are included in every informed consent forms; however, just few of them mention about the information regarding clients’ right to examine personal records, alternative treatments or options and potential risks and benefits of treatment. Generally, the consent for audio or video recordings and the information of destruction timeframe as well as who will have access to the recordings and where they will be stored are ambiguous and scanty. A total of 5 interviewees (3 females and 2 males) with a mean age of 26 years, who had at least 6 times of individual counseling experiences in the student counseling centers in universities were recruited by purposive sampling for in-depth interviews in this study. Interviewees described their informed consent experiences as confusing and oppressive. The signed informed consent form and a clear verbal interpretation of situation cannot ensure the clients really understand the nature of psychotherapy and what its process. While confronting dilemma, they tend to react in a passive way such as withdrawal, conformity or surmise. Finally, basic on their personal experiences, interviewees give suggestions to therapists conducting informed consent. Recommendations and suggestions for future research are also provided.

“Informed Consent”—doctor’s duty to inform—is the premise of the right of patient autonomy. Without emphasizing the importance of the duty, one cannot make a concrete discourse on the right. When the right has been the center of legal-medical discussion/debate for years, the duty has been transformed from a medical ethic issue into a legal obligation in Taiwan. Regardless of the aforementioned transformation, a thorough legal examination and discussion has not yet been made in Taiwan. This thesis intends to fill the research blank, and discuss the duty, starting from the duty’s basic concepts--human rights, human dignity, patient autonomy, and health care right, to its relevant civil, criminal, and procedural law issues. This thesis will also analyze Taiwanese court decisions to show how Taiwanese judiciary treats the informed consent issue. Lastly, this thesis will conclude with the need to introduce the idea of legal risk into the discourse of the duty in Taiwan. “An ounce of informed consent is worth a pound of malpractice defense,” as the old saying goes. This thesis argues that taking legal risk into consideration of constructing the concept of the duty can reduce unnecessary legal medical conflicts between doctors and patients.
