Abstract (english)

Respecting the informed consent and its implementation is one of the fundamental components of high-quality health care. This article discusses the informed consent with an overview of Croatian and international legal documents and scientific studies dealing with this issue. Based on the review of the literature it can be concluded that this is an important issue that contains several key components that should be observed and investigated. It is necessary to evaluate the purposefulness and quality of the implementation of the informed consent, to systematically examine respect of the patients' right to information regarding the medical procedure during treatment, to explore decision-making model in the physician-patient encounter in Croatian hospitals, to determine the content and amount of information shared between physicians and patients, to determine the content and readability of consent forms and written patient information on the medical procedure. In order to assure higher quality of the implementation of the informed consent it is necessary to define by law a list of medical procedures that require written consent and to uniform consent forms for the same medical procedures country-wide.

Abstract (croatian)

Poštivanje i provođenje prava pacijenata na obaviještenost i na suodlučivanje jedan su od temeljnjih dijelova visokokvalitetne zdravstvene zaštite. U radu se problematizira institut pristanka obaviještenog pacijenta uz pregled hrvatskih i međunarodnih pravnih dokumenata te znanstvenih istraživanja koja se bave ovim pitanjem. Na temelju pregledane literature može se zaključiti da ovo važno pitanje sadržava nekoliko ključnih dijelova kojima treba posvetiti pozornost i istražiti ih. Potrebno je evaluirati svrhovitost i kvalitetu provedbe pristanka obaviještenog pacijenta, sustavno ispitati poštuje li se pravo pacijenta na obaviještenost o medicinskom postupku tijekom liječenja, istražiti model odlučivanja liječnika i pacijenata u hrvatskim bolnicama, utvrditi sadržaj i količinu informacija izmijenjenih između liječnika i pacijenta, utvrditi sadržaj i razumljivost obrazaca za suglasnost i pisanih obavijesti o medicinskom postupku. U svrhu kvalitetnijeg provođenja procesa pristanka obaviještenog pacijenta potrebno je zakonski definirati popis medicinskih postupaka koji zahtijevaju pisanu suglasnost te uniformirati obrasce za suglasnost za iste medicinske postupke na razini Hrvatske.
