Obsah:
- Background: Obtaining informed consent is an integral part of surgical training, particularly for plastic surgery residents who must often communicate nuanced risk-benefit analyses for elective procedures. Despite its central role in patient care, no formal process exists to ensure consistency or assess competency in informed consent education across residency programs. The aim of this study is to investigate the quality and scope of informed consent training for integrated plastic surgery residents in the United States. Methods: A six-question survey was distributed to 106 integrated Plastic Surgery residency program directors (PDs). Survey questions gathered information about program demographics and attitudes towards informed consent training strategies. There was also an opportunity for additional commentary. Descriptive statistics were applied to the dataset, and the significance level was set to p <0.05. Results: A total of 56 responses were received from integrated Plastic Surgery program directors, equating to a 53% response rate. Most respondents were from programs located in the South (33.3%) and accepted 1-3 residents per year (57.1%). Plastic surgery faculty (39.8%) and senior residents teaching junior residents (34.0%) comprised a significantly greater proportion of educators ( p <0.001, p <0.001), while professional ethicists (2.9%) and other educators (2.9%) were reported significantly less frequently ( p <0.001, p <0.001). Curriculum teaching methods included other teaching methods (27.3%), lectures (22.1%), online modules (16.9%), standardized patient encounters (14.3%), case studies (10.4%), and role playing/practice sessions (9.1%). PDs tended to feel poor (31.3%) or neutral (27.1%) regarding the quality of informed consent training, with significantly more respondents supporting the implementation of a standardized curriculum compared with those who opposed or strongly opposed this initiative ( p = <0.001, p = <0.001). Conclusion: Education models for informed consent training in Plastic Surgery residency programs remain heterogenous, particularly in teaching and evaluation methods. Program directors attitudes on the current adequacy and future direction of this training generally tended towards poor or neutral, with a shared priority for advancing informed consent education through the creation of a standardized model. *Source: https://ps-rc.org/meeting/Program/2026/AS62.cgi*
