Self-Rated Competence of Ugandan Healthcare Workers to Obtain Informed Consent for Autopsy.

We examined the self-rated competence of Ugandan healthcare workers (HCWs) in obtaining informed consent for autopsies, considering the challenges of low autopsy acceptance rates globally. In September and October 2023, we conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study of HCWs, who provided informed consent to participate and completed an online, self-administered questionnaire. Participants' self-rated competence in obtaining informed consent for autopsy was assessed through Likert scale questions.
