Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals communicative barriers drive psychological outcomes in informed consent among hospital experts, indicating the need for targeted clinician communication training.

Key Points

To comprehensively explore the barriers to obtaining informed consent and map the causal, interactive relationships among these challenges.
Conducted a two-phase cross-sectional study in early 2025 combining an Arksey and O’Malley scoping review with the quantitative Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method.
Gathered expert pairwise comparisons via a researcher-developed questionnaire from a purposive sample at a private hospital in Tehran, analyzing data using SPSS, MATLAB, and EdrawMax.
Categorized informed consent barriers across seven dimensions: communicative, economic, psychological, cultural/social, organizational, legal/ethical, and informational.
Identified communicative barriers as the primary influential drivers and psychological barriers as the most heavily affected outcome factors within the causal system.
