To compare opinion of surgical inpatients with the conclusions of the report of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics regarding the ownership and uses of human tissue.
Survey of results of questionnaires completed by patients.
Large teaching hospital.
384 postoperative adult surgical patients.
There was strong support among patients for the use of tissues in medical education, research, and science with the exception of those tissues which may transmit disease to others. Few patients (39; 10%) believed that they retained ownership of tissue removed at surgery. Most believed that the tissue belonged to the hospital (103; 27%), to nobody (103; 27%), or to the laboratory (77; 20%). Most patients had not been given any information about the possible uses of their tissues after removal.
Surgical inpatients seem to endorse the conclusions of the Nuffield report regarding the ownership and uses of human tissue. The recommendations regarding patient information and consent procedures should be implemented at the earliest opportunity.
比较外科住院患者的观点与纳菲尔德生物伦理委员会关于人体组织所有权及用途报告的结论。
对患者填写的问卷结果进行调查。
大型教学医院。
384名成年外科术后患者。
患者强烈支持将组织用于医学教育、研究和科学领域，但可能会传染给他人的组织除外。很少有患者（39名；10%）认为自己保留手术切除组织的所有权。大多数人认为组织属于医院（103名；27%）、不属于任何人（103名；27%）或属于实验室（77名；20%）。大多数患者未被告知其组织切除后可能的用途。
外科住院患者似乎认可纳菲尔德报告中关于人体组织所有权及用途的结论。应尽早实施关于患者信息和同意程序的建议。
