Özet:

 Background: The study aimed to figure out whether, how, and why the COVID-19 pandemic has changed physicians attitudes toward informed consent in Turkey. Materials and Methods: An online questionnaire was distributed to physicians through the snowball sampling method and 528 physicians treating COVID-19 patients turned in the questionnaire. Findings: Most of the physicians n 317 indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced their attitudes on informed consent, while 39.96 of them n 211 stated that the pandemic did not change their behaviors on informing patients andor families. An overwhelming majority of the physicians n 259 emphasized the impact of the higher mortality rate of the disease, the lack of standard treatment for the disease, and the higher demand from patients and families for information on providing patients andor families with more information. On the other hand, 18.30 n 58 of the physicians admitted that the pandemic has caused them to disclose less information because of the lack of time to provide information, the need for urgent treatment, and the lack of information regarding the risks, benefits, and outcomes of applied treatments. Conclusion: COVID-19 pandemic affected the majority of the physicians attitudes and behaviors toward informed consent.

 Amaç: Çalışma Covid-19 pandemisinin, Türkiyede çalışan hekimlerin hasta  hasta yakını bilgilendirme davranışlarını niçin, nasıl ve niye değitirdiğini saptamayı amaçlamaktadır. Material ve Metod: Covid 19 tedavisi ile uğraşan hekimlere kartopu örneklem yöntemi ile online anket uygulaması yapıldı ve toplam 528 anket yanıtı alındı. Bulgular: Katılımcıların  60,4ü n317 Covid-19 pandemisinin bilgilendirme yaklaşımını etkilediğini belirtir iken,  39,6sı n211 pandeminin hasta  hasta yakını bilgilendirme alışkanlıkları üzerine etkisi olmadığını belirtti. Çalışmaya katılan hekimlerin çoğu, hastalığa bağlı yüksek mortalite oranı, hastalığın standart tedavisi olmaması ve hasta  hasta yakınlarının daha fazla bilgi istemesi sebebi ile daha fazla bilgilendirme yaptıklarını belirtti. Diğer taraftan, 58 katılımcı  18,3 bilgilendirme için yeterli zaman olmaması, acil tedavi gereksinimi ve uygulanan tedavinin risk, fayda ve sonuçları ile ilgili yeterli bilgi olmadığından daha az bilgi verdiklerini belirtti. Sonuç: Covid 19 pandemisi, Türkiyede çalışan hekimlerin çoğunda bilgilendirme davranışları üzerinde etki göstermektedir.
