Evaluating Patient and Caregiver Satisfaction with the Informed Consent Process in Surgery

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.
