“…In a qualitative study involving women consenting to gynecological procedures, several patients described feeling compelled to sign the consent form despite their firm preference not to do so. 36,37 This finding is supported by related survey data showing that 30% of women (220/732) consenting to surgery did not think they had a choice about signing the consent form, 38 and that most of the women (88% [642/732]) perceived the form as "just another piece of paper" that satisfied administrative and legal requirements.…”

During recent decades, a growing and preoccupying excess of medical interventions during childbirth, even in physiological and uncomplicated births, together with a concerning spread of abusive and disrespectful practices towards women during childbirth across the world, have been reported. Despite research and policy-making to address these problems, changing childbirth practices has proved to be difficult. We argue that the excessive rates of medical interventions and disrespect towards women during childbirth should be analysed as a consequence of structural violence, and that the concept of obstetric violence, as it is being used in Latin American childbirth activism and legal documents, might prove to be a useful tool for addressing structural violence in maternity care such as high intervention rates, non-consented care, disrespect and other abusive practices.

“…I denne artikkelen berøres bare de som har direkte relevans for den moralske målsettingen; å respektere personers selvbestemmelse. 15 Det er kjent at mange samtykker selv om de ikke vil (Dixon-Woods et al 2006).

Hovedregelen for å kunne gi helsehjelp iVurdering av samtykkekompetanse -en forutsetning for helsefaglig behandling Selvbestemmelse har i økende grad blitt en verdi og et sentralt moralsk prinsipp i Norge, som i mange vestlige land. Samtykket har i den forbindelse blitt en praktisk måte å forvalte og fremme selvbestemmelsen på, ikke minst innen helsevesenet. Fra helselovsreformen i 1999 og fremover har pasienters selvbestemmelse fått en mer tydelig plass i norsk helselovgiving.
