Abstract | Investigated functional competency to make informed decisions by elderly depressed and cognitively impaired psychiatric patients. Although depressed elderly patients did not appear to experience problems in informed consent process, cognitively impaired patients had difficulty understanding important aspects of consent information. Suggests that patients with diagnoses indicating cognitive impairment may require special aids in consent process. (Author/NB) |
