Description
Introduction: Implementing informed consent in medical practice in
Indonesia is fundamental to protecting the rights of patients, but it is not
quite enough to answer the law’s power. Research This analyzes the legal
and ethical aspects of the application of informed consent in medical
practice in Indonesia, with a review of applicable laws and regulations as
well as principles of the underlying bioethics.
Methods: This study uses a normative juridical and qualitative descriptive
approach to analyze legal and ethical aspects of informed consent in
medical practice. Data were obtained from 15 secondary sources, including
laws, academic literature, and court decisions, and analyzed through
qualitative methods. Source triangulation linking legal, health, and
bioethical perspectives was applied to ensure validity. The study aims to
contribute theoretically and practically to the improvement of informed
consent policy and practice.
Results: Research results show that although the regulation related to
informed consent is sufficiently comprehensive, there are still challenges
in its implementation, such as a lack of understanding of the patient,
limitations in the time doctors have to give adequate information and
aspects of culture that influence the decision-making process in medical
care.
Conclusion: required improvement in socialization, education for power
medical and patient, as well as strengthening the regulation use ensure
informed consent can be obtained and applied in a way effective and fair
in medical practice in Indonesia.Keywords: word; another word; lower
