Abstract

ASSESSMENT OF KNOWLEDGE OF CONSENT AMONG MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS

Dr. Shailesh D. Wakde*, Arti Ajay Kasulkar and H. T. Kanade

ABSTRACT

Background: The changing medical practice of the 20th century has given place to patients’ economy and consent. In this context, consent is seen as a new code of practice for the medical profession motivated by societal changes. The present study was carried out to assess the knowledge about various aspects of consent in medical practitioners. Material and Method: A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was undertaken in 100 medical practitioners during June 2015 to July 2016. Results: The participants were knowledgeable about various aspects of consent grossly, but finer details were lacking. Conclusion: We concluded that local bodies and medical associations should increase the participation of medical practitioners in seminars, CMEs, and workshops to increase awareness.
