Abstract

Introduction: In medical practice, consent is a legal requirement, not a procedural formality. Only signature on a form by patient is not consent. Without giving adequate information, if consent is signed by patient, consent may be invalid despite of signature. Aim: The aim of this study is to highlight the essential principles of consent so that health care professionals are not only able to safeguard themselves against litigations but can act rightfully. Materials & Methods: A search was obtained using three databases like Pub-med, Scopus and Google Scholar published from 2010-2023. The key-words for the survey were Consent, Informed, Healthcare, and Medical. After the relevant articles were found, the critical appraisal was made to select those that were suitable for the systematic review. Inclusion criteria of the study were surveys, clinical studies, no sample size restrictions and only English papers. Exclusion criteria were conference abstracts, case reports, and unpublished data. Results: On the basis of keywords, 21 relevant articles were found and of those 16 articles were selected for the systematic review. Conclusion: This study evaluated that any form of communication related to medical or dental should be documented.
