چکیده
OBJECTIVE To review psychiatrists' documentation of informed consent and present data on Canadian psychiatrists' attitudes and practices regarding documentation of the informed consent process. METHOD We surveyed a stratified random sample of psychiatrists practising in Ontario, using a mailed self-report questionnaire. RESULTS The response rate was 72%. Among respondents, 63% routinely documented the consent process, with younger respondents reporting more documentation than older ones. Although most respondents (77%) favoured recording the consent process, only 11% felt signed consent forms were necessary. CONCLUSION There are differences in the self-reported documentation behaviour of younger and older psychiatrists. Psychiatrists should document the consent process in the clinical record.
