Determining Parental Attitudes Toward Day of Surgery Consent for Research
April 25, 2023 updated by: Katherine Taylor, The Hospital for Sick Children
There are no studies examining parents' attitudes towards day of surgery consent for research.
The purpose of the study is to determine the attitudes parents of potential research participants have toward being approached for day of surgery consent.
The primary objective is to determine parental attitudes regarding day of surgery consent for anesthesia research.
The secondary objective is to determine the boundaries for day of surgery consent (e.g., study types, interventions, risk factors).
Study Overview
Status
Active, not recruiting
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
This is a multi-phase prospective cohort study.
In the first phase the investigators will interview parents and consult the Family Research Advisory Committee (FRAC) to determine their attitudes toward day of surgery research consent.
The investigators will use the participants' responses and instruments already found in the literature to develop the questionnaire.
In the second phase, the investigators will interview parents and consult FRAC about the questionnaire to determine which items to add, remove, or modify.
In the third phase, the investigators will distribute the adapted questionnaire to clarify parents' attitudes surrounding day of surgery consent.
The investigators will use the results of the third phase to develop a table of guidelines for day of surgery consent.
In the final phase, the investigators will interview parents, healthcare professionals, and consult FRAC for feedback and modification of the table of guidelines.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Phase 1: Instrument Development
Parents will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview with one of the researchers that will explore their attitudes toward day of surgery consent.
Particular attention will be given to a) study designs, b) previous research experience, and c) previous medical experiences.
|
Participants will be asked a set of questions as applicable to each phase.
Researchers will be able to ask additional questions as they arise within each interview.
|
Phase 2: Questionnaire Adaptation
Parents will be given approximately 5 minutes to review a questionnaire we developed using participant responses in Phase 1.
After reviewing the questionnaire, participants will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview with one of the investigators.
|
Participants will be asked a set of questions as applicable to each phase.
Researchers will be able to ask additional questions as they arise within each interview.
|
Phase 3: Questionnaire Application & Development of Day of surgery consent Table of Guidelines
Participants will be asked to complete the questionnaire developed in Phase 2.
|
A questionnaire (yet to be developed) will be administered to participants.
|
Phase 4: Table of Guidelines Refinement
Participants will be given approximately 5 minutes to review the table of guidelines developed in Phase 3.
After reviewing the guidelines, participants will be asked to participate in a semi-structured interview with one of the investigators.
|
Participants will be asked a set of questions as applicable to each phase.
Researchers will be able to ask additional questions as they arise within each interview.
