Summary

The goal of this observational study is to evaluate patient and caregiver satisfaction with the informed consent process in surgical practice at a tertiary care center in Nepal. The main questions it aims to answer are:

How satisfied are patients and caregivers with the current informed consent process in surgery? How well do patients and caregivers understand the informed consent information provided? Are there differences in satisfaction and understanding based on factors such as education level or family involvement? Researchers will compare the perceptions of patients and caregivers to understand if there are gaps in communication and satisfaction.

Participants will:

Complete a structured questionnaire assessing their understanding and satisfaction with the informed consent process.

Share their views on the type and quality of information provided during the consent process.

Rate their satisfaction on a 10-point scale based on their experience with the informed consent procedure.

Informed Consent Process Evaluation

This study does not involve a clinical intervention. Instead, it focuses on evaluating the existing process of informed consent in a surgical setting. Patients and caregivers will be surveyed to assess their understanding, satisfaction, and perceptions of the informed consent process. The study examines factors such as clarity of information provided, patient and caregiver involvement, and overall satisfaction with the process, without altering the current practices. The goal is to identify areas for improvement in communication and documentation, ensuring that patient rights and autonomy are respected.
