“…Consent is generally given in writing, but in some cases it may be verbal, especially for interventions that are non-invasive and relatively safe [ 17 ]. In a study (2011), where they consciously assessed the level of knowledge of surgical patients, it was found that the majority of patients (70.2%) did not have sufficient knowledge about this issue, which confirms our results [ 18 ].…”

Background and objectives Informed consent (IC) is the process of establishing communication between the physician and the patient or an alternative decision that leads to the agreement or rejection of the patient and/or their legal representative to perform specific medical procedures. In this study, we evaluated the level of awareness and patient participation in IC in the surgical wards of the general hospital in northern Iran in the 2019–2020 years. Patients and methods This study is cross-sectional research that was performed during the 2019–2020 years. The statistical population includes patients admitted to the surgical wards of the general hospital in northern Iran in 2019–2020. The Cochran's formula was used to determine the sample size and the statistical sample size was 385 patients. The sampling method is stratified random. The method of data collection was through questionnaire tools. The software used was SPSS 21 with an independent t -test and one-way ANOVA. Results Our data showed that the frequency of men was significantly higher (P < 0.001). Individuals with a higher education group have a significantly higher level of awareness (P < 0.001). The Pearson's Correlation (PC) test showed that there was no significant correlation between age and patients' awareness score (PC = -0.007, P = 0.887). Conclusion The current study showed that individuals with higher education had a significantly higher level of awareness, and there was no significant correlation between age and patients' awareness score. Therefore, senior university administrators are suggested to improve IC processes in accordance with the patients' rights charter and internationally accredited standards, and assist health care providers with legal implications in the courts.

“…It is possible to contest consent because the patient was not provided with enough information to make an informed decision. Thus, it is imperative to furnish true, sufficient, and pertinent information in a language and style that is understandable to the patient-preferably without resorting to technical scientific jargon (Itir Erkan, 2017) The details of the planned procedures, the possible dangers and advantages of the process, the alternatives to the proposed method, including the natural course of nontreatment, and medical facts regarding the patient's health should all be included in the information given. (Bushra Ashraf, 2014) , In addition to discussing the risks, doctors can establish a system to ensure that relevant information about expected outcomes, possible alternatives, and what to expect before and after the procedure is communicated.…”

“…It is an ethical obligation of health care professionals to uphold patients' autonomy and let them decide on the proposed medical, surgical, or other health care and research interventions (2). The consent is generally obtained in written but, in some cases, it may be verbal especially for the non-invasive and relatively nonrisky interventions like vital-sign and pelvic examination, Breast Examination to obstetrics and gynecologic client (1,3) Several factors may affect informed consent, including the patient's competence, provision of limited information, unsuccessful communication between patients and professionals, the hospital environment itself, privacy issues, and inadequate time (1,2,4). The informed consent process is vital to patients; however, patients vary in their views of its purpose with the dominant view being enabling patients' selfdecision-making (5).…”

Introduction: The practice of informed consent before any surgical procedure should form the fundamental element that serves to protect both patient and surgeon from prosecution. Several factors can affect the process of surgical informed consent. Knowledge towards surgical informed consent is one important factor. It is worth mentioning that patients’ understanding of the information provided in the consent form is a prerequisite for obtaining valid informed consent, otherwise, it will be only symbolic. The study aimed to assess knowledge of surgical informed consent and associated factors among patients who undergone obstetric and gynecologic surgery at Jimma Medical Center, Jimma, Oromia Region, EthiopiaMethodology: Institutional based crossectional study was conducted among systematically selected women undergo obstetrics and gynecologic surgery in Jimmy medical center from April 1 to May 30, 2020. The collected data were coded, entered into Epi data version 3.1, and analyzed using SPSS version 25. Bivariate and multivariate regression was carried out to determine the association between an outcome variable and an independent variable. Tables, pie -charts, and texts were used to report the result.Results: This study revealed that the mean age of the respondents was 29.5 ±3.5 years and the majority of them (83.3%) were married. The respondents had significantly poor overall knowledge of surgical informed consent 77.2 %( 95%CI: 72.8-81.2).Patient educational status (AOR: 1.22 (95%CI: 1.1-2.47), satisfaction level (AOR: 1.823(95%CI: 1.061-3.134).and patient- provider relation-ship (AOR: 0.472(95%CI: 0.271-0.822) were associated with knowledge of surgical informed consent.Conclusion: in this study, the overall level of knowledge regarding surgical informed consent was significantly poor than the other national and international figures. Patient Education, satisfaction, and patient-provider relation-ship were associated with knowledge of surgical informed consent. Health care providers should provide adequate information before surgery to improve patients’ knowledge regarding surgical informed consent and provide adequate input on ways to improve the consent process to make it better suited to fit the needs of all patients.
