Escobar López, María Teresa2014-10-162014-10-162014-10-161794-4449http://hdl.handle.net/10567/1167This paper introduces additional findings from a documentary revision about the perception that patients from the Colombian health system have, concerning the informed consent. The literature was revised and the interest was focused on the studies that show the perception of the patients about the clinical attention. The research process was both digital and physical. In total, 78 documents published between 1995 and 2013 were compiled. Content aspects were taken into account in order to make an Excel matrix, with Abstract, plus theoretical and methodological considerations, observations and conclusions. The search revealed how most of the material corresponds to theories about informed consent in general. A big group approaches informed consent and research. Only some of the documents are exclusively about the perception of informed consent in clinical attention to patients, and a new publication on the matter is about to be released. The additional finding has to do with an important proportion of publications about informed consent in research. It mainly contains information about how to theorize on the subject, the expertise and experience of the researchers, the little attention paid to the research subjects and the fact that when they are heard it is usually about technical and instrumental problems in the application and the implementation. Just like in clinical attention, there is no theoretical position about the perception criterion.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaInstitución Universitaria Colegio Mayor de AntioquiaUniversidad Pontificia BolivarianaSujeto de investigaciónConsentimiento informadoInvestigaciónBioéticaArticle
