چکیده مقاله:

Background: In patients undergoing Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), obtaining written Informed Consent (IC) must be the standard measure before the procedure. The patient must be informed about the risks and benefits of the treatment and alternatives. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the quality of IC obtaining before the ECT course in an academic hospital in the North of Iran. Materials & Methods: This study was conducted at an academic center in the north of Iran during ۲۰۱۸-۲۰۱۹. Firstly the patients’ mental capacity was assessed, and if it was not adequate for giving informed consent, a patient’s relative was interviewed. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS V. ۲۲. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to evaluate the normality assumption. To compare the mean scores in subgroups, we applied t-test. Results: A total of ۲۵۹ people enrolled in the survey and were interviewed. Schizophrenia was the main cause of receiving ECT. The Mean±SD score of receiving information was ۸.۲۲±۳.۶۸ (۰-۱۶), understandability of IC ۳.۰۳±۱.۷۶ (۰-۶), patients’ voluntary acceptance of the treatment ۱.۳۸±۰.۶۸ (۰-۴) and physician-patient relationship ۶.۱۱±۲.۱۶ (۰-۱۲). The total Mean±SD score was ۱۸.۰۵±۳.۱۶ (۰-۳۸). Conclusion: IC process was not optimal in our center; however, great trust in the physicians was noticeable. The physician-patient relationship had the highest score while the intentional obtaining of informed consent achieved the lowest.
