[Awareness of basic medical law standards among doctors and patients in Poland].
In this study the authors compared understanding of basic medical law standards among doctors, medical students and patients. Ten "true or false" questions were completed by 84 doctors, 74 students and 81 patients. The questions addressed areas of fundamental importance and informed consent. The answers and comments were determined according to Polish legal regulations. Results were analyzed for differences between population subgroups. Doctors scored significantly higher (65.3%) than students 60% (p=0.029), and patients 36% (p=0.00001). Awareness of basic aspects of medical law in Poland is very poor. With regard to legal consequences, continuous learning of these procedures are mandatory.
