Consentimiento informado em pesquisa clínica: revisão da literatura 2012-2022
Resumo
O consentimento informado envolve uma obrigação legal do profissional de saúde anterior ao ato médico, especialmente diante de procedimentos diagnósticos, terapêuticos, preventivos ou cirúrgicos. Na investigação clínica, o consentimento informado envolve um processo em que uma pessoa decide voluntariamente participar na investigação. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma
revisão de literatura em relação aos artigos primários sobre consentimento informado em pesquisa clínica publicados entre 2012 e 2022. Foi realizada uma revisão de artigos primários, cujo objeto de estudo foi o consentimento informado em pesquisa clínica. Bases de dados consultadas: Pubmed, Embase, Proquest, Google/Google Scholar e Web of science, além de periódicos especializados. As buscas foram realizadas entre dezembro de 2022 e janeiro de 2023. O resultado do processo de busca foram 705 artigos e 55 atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. A maioria foram estudos observacionais e qualitativos (29,1%, respectivamente). O principal núcleo temático foi a compreensão. 94,5% dos artigos correspondiam ao idioma inglês (n=52), enquanto 5,5% correspondiam ao espanhol (n=3). Concluindo, a compreensão da informação e o binómio informação-comunicação constituem componentes essenciais no contexto da investigação clínica. Como alternativa ou complemento ao habitual consentimento informado, consolidam-se recursos multimédia como o vídeo.
