ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Aim: is to find out the peculiarities of informed consent of the patient for medical intervention during biomedical research. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Materials and Methods: The dialectical method was used as a universal and general scientific method, which made it possible to consider the peculiarities of the content of the patient's informed consent. Using the logico-semantic method, the essence and features of biomedical research with the patient's participation were determined. The formal-legal method is used to analyze adaptation processes of biomedical research. System-structural method were applied when comparing the content of the patient's informed consent in separate legislation. The work also used such methods of cognition as comparative-legal, systemic-logical, and logical-legal. CONCLUSION: Conclusions: "Informed consent" includes not only the concept of consent itself, i.e. the free decision of a person, but also an explanation of a specific case or research procedure. And it largely depends on the specialist. Will he be able to convey and explain the patient's problem, illness, actions correctly, fully and in an accessible form? Yes, free consent is given by a person, but the doctor also influences this decision to some extent. Patients' freedom in choosing medical care methods is somewhat limited.
