ABSTRACT:

Research problem: We aim to identify how ethics is applied to medical practice (as in medical research), namely how Informed Consent (IC) is used by medical care institutions in North Eastern Romania as an ethical tool.
Informed consent & Broad consent literature.
Romanian background – a general formulation of IC, a legislative background of using IC.
In an initial brief analysis of hospitalization forms from a public clinical recovery hospital, we noticed that the hospitalization forms included a number of informative paragraphs including the role of IC. With regard to the IC for therapeutic intervention, was included a request for agreement to participate as a human subject in further medical research. We are interested in whether or not a broad formulation of IC could be ethically used for allowing the conducting of studies and for further publication of the resulting data including when we are dealing with rare cases, or rare genetic mutations, etc.).

KEYWORDS:
