Abstract

We wonder about the patient's perception relating to a request for informed and express free consent. We report interviews conducted with sixteen seniors who responded to a consent request while they were hospitalized in a geriatric department. Those patients had to give their opinion on the quality of the information received, their feeling of freedom and the perception of their consent or not. Making a qualitative study of the verbatim by an analysis using anchored theorization, we show the major influence of the freedom with the act of choice and the importance of supporting the patients to whom it is asked to consent.
