Abstract

INTRODUCTION

We reviewed the nurse's involvement and role perception on informed consent in LAUTECH Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria

OBJECTIVES

The study aimed at determining the nurses' knowledge, attitude and perception of role in informed consent and the level of participation in the procedure.

METHODS

A descriptive cross sectional study of the nurses in the medical and surgical units of LAUTECH Teaching Hospital was carried out using semi structured questionnaire.

RESULTS

Sixty five nurses participated in the study. A high proportion - 60 (92.3%) had heard of informed consent but only 26(40%) had correct and adequate knowledge of informed consent. Forty (61.5%) had participated as witnesses to the procedure of seeking informed consent. Participation was only sometimes in 38 (58.5%) of respondents. Forty seven (86.2%) nurses wanted nurses to be involved in obtaining informed consent because it improves quality of patient care while 38(58.5%) nurses believed that involvement of nurses should be because it is the nurses' statutory responsibility.

CONCLUSION

It would appear that the knowledge of informed consent among nurses was inadequate and nurses were not adequately carried along in the process. Training of nurses in this important procedure would greatly enhance the quality of patient care.

摘要

引言

我们回顾了尼日利亚奥孙州奥索博LAUTECH教学医院护士在知情同意方面的参与情况和角色认知。

目的

本研究旨在确定护士对知情同意的知识、态度和角色认知以及在该程序中的参与程度。

方法

采用半结构化问卷对LAUTECH教学医院内科和外科病房的护士进行描述性横断面研究。

结果

65名护士参与了研究。很大一部分——60名（92.3%）听说过知情同意，但只有26名（40%）对知情同意有正确且充分的了解。40名（61.5%）曾作为寻求知情同意程序的见证人参与其中。38名（58.5%）受访者只是有时参与。47名（86.2%）护士希望护士参与获取知情同意，因为这能提高患者护理质量，而38名（58.5%）护士认为护士应参与是因为这是护士的法定职责。
