The legislative developments that led to the Three-year Degree of the Health Professions poses any health professional in the position of having to comply with the ethical and legal duty to obtain valid informed consent from the patient prior to treatment. In the present work, attention was focused on the figure of the occupational therapist.
Materials and methods. Informed consent forms have been developed according to the specific disease from which the patient undergoing occupational therapy is affected. The following categories of sick were identified: amputation, developmental age, orthopedy, spinal cord injury, neurology, psychiatry, geriatry and oncology.
Results and conclusion. The consent forms are particularly well suited to obtaining valid consent from the patient and, at the same time, allow the occupational therapist to obtain all the information he/she needs to carry out the treatment in safety. This results improved patient compliance to therapy by facilitating a better empathic relationship with the therapist.
