ABSTRACT
The principle of patient autonomy is a cornerstone of bioethics. According to this concept, patients should be given the power to make decisions related to their treatment. It is an important component of modern medical ethics, which has received much interest in current literature. However, the rate of participation of patients and their willingness to participate are variable according to the cultural, social and family environments in which they are inserted. The aim of this paper is to promote a brief descriptive review on autonomy, the preferences of patients and the use of informed consent as an instrument for the exercise of autonomy in literature, and to stress the lack of debate, as well as the pressing need for discussion of these current issues nationwide.
RESUMO
O princípio de autonomia do paciente é um dos pilares da bioética. Segundo este conceito, ao paciente deve ser dado o poder de tomar as decisões relacionadas ao seu tratamento. Trata-se de um componente importante da ética médica moderna, que tem recebido bastante interesse na literatura atual. No entanto, o índice de participação dos pacientes e a sua vontade de participar são variáveis de acordo com o meio cultural, social e familiar no qual se encontram inseridos. O objetivo do artigo é promover uma breve revisão descritiva referente à autonomia, às preferências dos pacientes e ao uso do consentimento informado como instrumento para o exercício da autonomia na literatura mundial e situar a carência do debate, bem como, a necessidade premente da discussão desses temas atuais em âmbito nacional.
