“…Informed consent in family planning services is very important. This aligns with the International Code of Ethics for Midwives that midwives must respect women's rights after receiving an explanation and encourage women to accept responsibility for the results of their choices (Lestari & Innaka T, 2021). There is often debate about how much information should be given to patients for informed consent.…”

The results of the study of the patient safety management team in Indonesia for health services revealed that the provision of informed consent in various healthcare institutions needs to be optimal. Most health workers only ask patients and families to sign informed consent without providing a detailed explanation. This condition certainly affects the knowledge of patients and families. Knowledge of patients and families can cause problems if desirable things happen. This study aimed to describe the application of informed consent in family planning services at Anisa Yogyakarta Independent Midwife Practice (PMB). This study used descriptive qualitative methods. The sampling technique using snowball sampling technique amounted to 4 midwife informants and four acceptor informants. The results of in-depth interviews conducted with four midwife informants said that the implementation of informed consent in family planning services at the Independent Midwife Practice (PMB) had gone well. The midwife had carried out the obligation to ask for consent and provide information while for the completeness of filling out informed consent, 14 informed consent filled in, as many as eight informed consent and six incomplete informed consent and from in-depth interviews, the acceptor was able to explain the contents of the informed consent. Acceptor informants said they signed the action consent sheet after the midwife explained about family planning (KB) that acceptors would use. The informed consent application in family planning services at the Independent Midwife Practice (PMB) has generally been done well. Still, the completeness of filling out informed consent has yet to be maximized, and acceptors generally understand informed consent in family planning services.

This has become the foundation for midwives in providing informed choice services in form of comprehensive counseling and is continued with informed consent [12].…”

“…The core of informed consent is an agreement between the health workers and the patients, while the form is only the documentation as a result of an agreement. Consent is important from the midwife's perception as it relates to the legal aspects that authorize the midwife to perform procedures [12].…”

Midwifery services must be provided by midwives by implementing legal ethics in midwifery. This ethics can be fulfilled by giving informed consent before performing midwifery services. Informed consent is obtained by giving information about the midwifery services that will be provided to the patient and asking the patient to sign the midwifery service agreement sheet indicating that the patient is willing to receive the provided midwifery information and services as well as all the possible consequences. Informed consent is required when midwives provide care for pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum, and newborns. The objective of this study was to identify the implementation of informed consent by midwives in providing midwifery services in health care facilities such as hospitals, health centers, and autonomous midwifery practices. This research was a descriptive study with a cross-sectional approach involving 71 midwives in Pekalongan Regency. It was carried out in March 2021 by distributing questionnaires to the participating midwives who were selected through a quota sampling method. The collected data were analyzed by using central tendency and frequency distribution. The results of data analysis showed that the average age of the participants was 36.5 years old, the average length of work was 12.8 years, and the education level of the majority of them was diploma three (69%). A total of 70.4% of the midwives obtained informed consent before providing midwifery services. This number indicates that there were midwifery services that had not implemented ethical and legal aspects. The ethical and legal noncompliance cases in midwifery services might increase if no effort to achieve 100% informed consent implementation was taken. Therefore, regulation that manage and bind midwives in carrying out informed consent to achieve 100% implementation of it in midwifery services is needed.
