Abstract
Objetivos
Estudiar el conocimiento, implementación y opinión sobre el consentimiento informado de las enfermeras generalistas, especialistas y residentes de atención primaria.
Diseño
Estudio descriptivo transversal a través de un cuestionario ad hoc autoadministrado online.
Emplazamiento
Enfermeras de atención primaria de Madrid, de noviembre de 2020 a marzo de 2021.
Participantes
Muestra de 114 enfermeras: 91 generalistas, 20 especialistas y 3 residentes.
Mediciones principales
Sociodemográficas, conocimientos, implementación y opinión.
Resultados
La tasa de respuesta fue del 27,7%. El 48,2% señalaron que el consentimiento informado se recogía de forma verbal por regla general, tal y como establece la ley, con diferencias entre las categorías; este porcentaje fue mayor en las especialistas y residentes (p = 0,004) y, dentro de las especialistas, en aquellas que han obtenido la especialidad por vía enfermera interna residente (EIR) (p < 0,0001). Además, especialistas y residentes fueron quienes más identificaron la norma jurídica que regula el consentimiento informado (p < 0,0001). En cuanto a la implementación y la opinión, todos los grupos obtuvieron resultados similares.
Discusión
No existen estudios previos que hayan analizado estos aspectos del consentimiento informado comparando las diferentes categorías. Estudios de otros ámbitos de atención sanitaria y geográficos evidencian que las enfermeras poseen mayor conocimiento, aunque la demanda de formación específica en bioética y bioderecho es mayor en las enfermeras participantes en este estudio.
Conclusiones
Las enfermeras poseen un adecuado conocimiento sobre el consentimiento informado, lo emplean en la práctica clínica y tienen una apropiada concepción sobre él; en algunos ítems resulta más elevado en las enfermeras especialistas por vía EIR y en las residentes.
Objective To know the knowledge, implementation and opinion on informed consent of generalist nurses, specialists and primary care residents. Design Descriptive cross-sectional study using an online self-administered ‘ad hoc’ questionnaire. Setting Primary care nurses in Madrid, from November 2020 to March 2021. Participants Sample of 114 nurses: 91 generalist, 20 specialists and 3 residents. Main measurements Sociodemographics, knowledge, implementation and opinion. Results The response rate was 27.7%. As a general rule, 48.2% indicated that informed consent was collected verbally, as established by law, with differences being found between categories, this percentage being higher in specialists and residents (P = 0.004), and within specialists in those who had obtained their speciality by internal resident nurse (IRN) (P < 0.0001). In addition, specialists and residents were those who most identified the legal norm regulating informed consent (P < 0.0001). In terms of implementation and opinion, all groups obtained similar results. Discussion There are no previous studies that have analysed these aspects of informed consent comparing the different categories. Studies from other healthcare and geographical areas show that nurses have greater knowledge, although the demand for specific training in bioethics and biolaw is greater in the nurses participating in this study. Conclusions Nurses have adequate knowledge about informed consent, use it in clinical practice and have an appropriate conception of it, being higher in some items in specialist nurses IRN and in residents.
