Abstract The main purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge and perceptions of the informed consent form by cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The participants were selected through a random sampling methodology. Out of 30 cancer patients, 28 volunteered to be involved in the study. They completed a sociodemographic form. The findings revealed that the informed consent form does not greatly affect patients about chemotherapy and their decisions. They mostly were not aware of the content and purpose. The factors behind that included incomprehensible language, less time, crowded clinics, and belief on the doctor. It is suggested that chemotherapy patients should obtain more accurate and memorable information about the treatment process and its side effects with informed consent

Unexpected Outcome

AbstractPatients want to know more about their condition and its proposed treatment. Gaining patients' confidence before treatment reduces the chances of their seeking legal redress for an unexpected outcome. As part of a prospective study of informed consent for surgery we have assessed the attitudes of patients towards informed consent when different types of consent interview are used.We found that most patients are happy to do as their doctor advises but think the informal consent interview is important because it gives them information; they also want to know about most, but not all, complications of the procedure. One quarter worried about the anaesthetic, about one eighth worried about ‘not waking up’ nd similar proportions worried about complications and other things such as pain and nausea. Most patients think that the consent form is a legal document.In addition patients who had an informal interview felt obliged to sign the consent form and thought it had medicolegal implications. In contrast those who had a structured interview felt less obliged to sign the consent form and more involved in the decision to operate.
