Abstract

Introduction: The Maxillofacial Surgery Service at Juan Manuel Marquez Children's University Hospital in Havana did not have a standardized informed consent procedure. Another purpose was to analyze the opinions of valid representatives about the information to be provided by such informed consent.
Methods: A study was conducted of the 32 members of the multidisciplinary team and 9 valid representatives of the patients to verify their awareness of the principles of medical ethics and bioethics.
Results: Most showed low awareness of medical ethics, and medium to high awareness of bioethics. Valid representatives showed a low level of awareness. Acknowledgement of the importance of and need for informed consent was confirmed, but the medical team admitted that they do not use it appropriately. A methodological proposal was developed for the process of informed consent.
Conclusions: Awareness of the principles of medical ethics and bioethics by professionals was not consistent with their perception of such principles or their implementation.

Key words: doctor-patient relationship, informed consent, autonomy
