Abstract
Informed consent as a procedure is mandatory in cases of patient participation in clinical trials of pharmaceuticals, preparation for surgical interventions, diagnostic and therapeutic invasive procedures, and even in surveys (questionnaires) on health issues according to the legislation of most countries of the world. The practice of obtaining informed consent in Ukraine is widespread and well-studied in cases of preparing palliative patients for operations, hospitalizations, invasive procedures, but there is a certain lack of information on obtaining informed consent when studying quality of life. In our research, we used the method of systematic analysis and the bibliosemantic method, with references to scientific and legal sources. As a result of the study, it was determined that informed consent is an important part of the legal regulation of medical care and social security in Ukraine and the world. We researched the issue of legal capacity, identified separate issues of confidentiality, compliance with the requirements of Ukrainian legislation regarding the observance of individual rights of patients that could potentially be violated during the study of the quality of life, collecting and processing answers to questionnaire, signing informed consent. The text of the informed consent can be modified for the purposes of the scientific study, but without violating the procedure of informing the patient (or his legal representative) about the goals and possible inconveniences of the study. The text of the informed consent must be signed by the patient (in his own hand) and the attending physician. If the patient cannot write independently, but understands the essence of the text of the informed consent and the questions of the questionnaire and gives clear and unambiguous answers to them, the questionnaire and the informed consent can be signed only by the attending physician. Keywords: medical deontology, medical ethics, medical law, palliative and hospice care.
