The main purpose of this study was to investigate knowledge and perceptions of the informed consent form by cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The participants were selected through a random sampling methodology. Out of 30 cancer patients, 28 volunteered to be involved in the study. They completed a sociodemographic form. The findings revealed that the informed consent form does not greatly affect patients about chemotherapy and their decisions. They mostly were not aware of the content and purpose. The factors behind that included incomprehensible language, less time, crowded clinics, and belief on the doctor. It is suggested that chemotherapy patients should obtain more accurate and memorable information about the treatment process and its side effects with informed consent |
