Abstract
This study aims to analyze informed consent
regarding the legal protection of health workers at the Andi Makkasau Parepare
Regional General Hospital. Informed consent is an approval for medical action
through a communication process between the doctor and the patient regarding
the agreement on the medical action that the doctor will carry out on the
patient. The research method used is a normative juridical qualitative research
method with a descriptive approach. The data collection techniques were
literature studies, interviews, and fieldwork practices. The research results
show that, in general, informed consent at the Andi Makkasau Parepare Regional
General Hospital has been implemented optimally and is by the SOP (Standard
Operational Procedure) at the hospital, and there is also General Consent,
namely the general consent of new patients. Having informed consent that has
been carried out optimally and in accordance with existing hospital regulations
can protect the health of workers and medical personnel in carrying out medical
procedures on patients. The suggestions given by researchers are that health
workers and medical personnel must provide information regarding the existence
of informed consent procedures and that they must fully understand the
applicable laws and regulations, especially regarding health and existing regulations
in hospitals.
