          Abstract

          OBJETIVO: O termo de consentimento informado é uma obrigação para o exercício profissional e para a pesquisa envolvendo seres humanos. Representa o respeito à autonomia. Este estudo teve por objetivo reconhecer o grau de entendimento dos indivíduos que participam de uma pesquisa ou de um tratamento. MÉTODOS: Um termo de consentimento foi preparado com linguagem potencialmente clara e acessível, com índice de facilidade de leitura de Flesch igual a 95, o que o classificou como muito fácil. Foram analisados dados como idade, grau de escolaridade, hábito de leitura, meios de acesso à informação e internet e renda familiar, como fatores que modificam o entendimento do consentimento livre e esclarecido. RESULTADOS: Apesar do termo ter sido preparado para atingir pontuação de acerto entre 9 e 10, observou-se que ele atingiu 7,5 ± 1,62 e não esteve relacionado à idade ou ao sexo. O nível de escolaridade influenciou a capacidade de entendimento (p=0,0013), bem como o hábito de leitura (p=0,0001) e o acesso à Internet (p=0,0070). A análise de ganho mostrou que os que ganham mais de dez salários mínimos são os que compreendem melhor (p=0,0041). CONCLUSÃO: Pode-se admitir que os sujeitos para pesquisa devem ser aqueles com melhor nível de escolaridade, com habitualidade para a leitura, com facilidade de acesso à internet e os que têm melhor faixa salarial. Na prática médica, observar a condição de cada um dos doentes, entender as suas limitações de compreensão, ler junto com eles, um à um, explicando todos os pontos.

          BACKGROUND: Informed consent is compulsory in professional practice and research studies involving human beings. It represents respect to autonomy. This study aims at identifying the degree of understanding displayed by individuals who participate in research studies or treatment. METHODS: An informed concent form was prepared and written in a clear and comprehensible language, with a Flesch Reading Ease Score of 95, and thus classified as very easy. Age, schooling, readership frequency, access to information and to the Internet, and family income were analyzed as factors bearing on comprehension of free and informed consent. RESULTS: Even though the form was prepared to result in a comprehension score of 9 and 10, the score observed was 7.5 ± 1.62 and was not related to age or gender. Schooling level was seen to affect comprehension (p=0.0013) as well as readership frequency (p=0.0001) and access to the Internet (p=0.0070). The income level analysis revealed that individuals who earn more than 10 times the minimum wage showed better comprehension (p=0.0041). CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that individuals participating in research studies should be chosen among those with better schooling, frequent readership, easy access to the Internet, and within a higher income bracket. In medical practice, each patient's condition should be observed, their comprehension limitations understood, and the informed consent form should be read on a one-to-one basis, and all the details and implications should be clearly explained.

            International ethical guidelines for biomedical research involving human subjects.

            (2002)
            The CIOMS guidelines have been developed and revised with the problems of conducting medical research in less developed countries particularly in mind. The proposed guidelines were first published in 1982, revised in 1993, and have now been published in a third version after a revision process lasting three years. Last month the Bulletin published just one guideline and accompanying commentary. There now follow all the guidelines, without commentary, but with an appendix detailing what should be in a protocol.
