Empirical studies on comprehension of information for informed consent show that research subjects often do not understand major portions of that to which they have consented. This raises the ethical question of whether or not the consent process has accomplished its purpose--the protection of the individual's right to self-determination. This article focuses on the following factors derived from the research literature that influence comprehension of information for informed consent: the nature of information, method of presentation of information, demographic factors, and personal factors. From these factors and methodological considerations, ethical implications for nursing research are addressed.
关于知情同意信息理解的实证研究表明，研究对象往往不理解他们所同意内容的主要部分。这就引发了一个伦理问题，即同意过程是否实现了其目的——保护个人的自决权。本文着重探讨从研究文献中得出的以下影响知情同意信息理解的因素：信息的性质、信息呈现方式、人口统计学因素和个人因素。基于这些因素和方法学考量，探讨了护理研究的伦理意义。
