“…So, the mean score of observing patient’s rights in the participants with academic education level was more than other participants. This finding is consistent with results of previous studies (Agrawal et al , 2017; Halawany et al , 2016; Abedi et al , 2017). With a low educational level, the patients’ knowledge and awareness of their rights also decreases.…”

Purpose Patient right is the most important ethical right in the hospital, which equally, belongs to every human kind. Observance of patient right is responsibility of all treatment staff when they offer treatment and care for patient. This study aims to investigate observance of patients’ rights in emergency department of educational hospitals in south-east Iran. Design/methodology/approach This study used a cross-sectional design and was conducted in four educational hospitals affiliated with the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2018. Using a two-section standard questionnaire of Patients’ Rights Charter, this study assessed patients’ rights observance using a census method, N = 382. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed using descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviations and analytic statistics such as Kolmogorov – Smirnov, ANOVA, t-test and Pearson test using SPSS 21. Findings Means of total score for observing all essentials of patients’ rights in emergency department of educational hospitals were at a moderate level (43.10 ±15.05) from the viewpoint of patients. The area of “providing health services based on respecting patient’s privacy and observing the essentials of secrecy and confidentiality” enjoying the highest mean score (86.89 ± 24.39), was at a good level compared to other areas. The area of “having access to effective complaint management system” showed the lowest mean score (23/85 ± 23/07) from the participants’ perspective proving a poor level. Between the patient rights observance and gender, education level, resident status and duration of hospitalization, a significant relationship was observed. Originality/value As regarded in this study, the degree of patients’ rights observance was moderate so, culture, paying attention to the rights of all stakeholders, identifying barriers and various factors, including the professional and environmental differences in the assessment of the need, should be considered by policymakers to design promotional and regulatory programs for improving the rights of the patient.

“…Abedi et al also indicated the need to increase patients’ awareness of their rights during the delivery of healthcare services [ 28 ]. As stated by Agrawal et al, to take effective educational measures to improve general awareness not only among patients but also among various stakeholders in the healthcare system, it is important to assess the awareness of hospitalized patients of their rights [ 29 ]. As shown by the results of a study conducted by Tabassum et al in two hospitals in Lahore (Pakistan) from the public and the private sectors, most patients (64%) were not aware of their rights.…”

Background: This study aimed to define the role and importance of patients’ rights in personalized healthcare from the perspective of nursing students in Poland, Spain and Slovakia. Methods: The research was carried out by means of a diagnostic survey, using the survey technique, with the participation of 1002 nursing students attending a full-time undergraduate study program at three European countries. The “Patients’ rights” questionnaire was used as a research tool. The average age of students was 21.6 years (±3.4). The empirical material collected was subjected to a statistical analysis. Results: The study demonstrated that 72.1% of nursing students from Spain, 51.2% from Poland and 38.5% from Slovakia believe that patients’ rights are respected at a good level in their country. Significant intergroup differences (F = 67.43; p < 0.0001) were observed in the self-assessment of students’ knowledge of patients’ rights. The highest average values were obtained by students from Spain (3.54 ± 0.92), while 35.9% of students from Slovakia and 25.5% from Poland were quite critical and pointed to their low level of knowledge of patients’ rights in their self-assessment. When ranking patients’ rights related to respecting dignity, students from Spain obtained much higher average values (4.37 ± 0.92) than students from the other two countries. Conclusions: The level of students’ knowledge of patients’ rights and the respect for patients’ rights by medical personnel is, in the opinion of the respondents, quite diverse and requires in-depth educational activities among nursing students at the university level in respective countries.

“…22 40 41 Patient rights movements and civil society organisations arguing for improved accountability in healthcare are gathering momentum across the globe and more so in LMICs. 40 Although the rhetoric on patient rights is burgeoning, empirical research in this area is nascent and most of the existing research studies [42][43][44][45] limit themselves to studying awareness of patient rights. Also, the available frameworks in the literature identify the typology of patients rights 8 and a few other attempt to situate the patients rights within the larger human rights framework.…”

Towards a multilevel governance framework on the implementation of patient rights in health facilities: a protocol for a systematic scoping review

IntroductionPatient rights are “those rights that are attributed to a person seeking healthcare”. Patient rights have implications for quality of healthcare and acts as a key accountability tool. It can galvanise structural improvements in the health system and reinforces ethical healthcare. States are duty bound to respect, protect and promote patient rights. The rhetoric on patient rights is burgeoning across the globe. With changing modes of governance arrangements, a number of state and non-state actors and institutions at various levels play a role in the design and implementation of (patient rights) policies. However, there is limited understanding on the multilevel institutional mechanisms for patient rights implementation in health facilities. We attempt to fill this gap by analysing the available scholarship on patient rights through a critical interpretive synthesis approach in a systematic scoping review.MethodsThe review question is ‘how do the multilevel actors, institutional structures, processes interact and influence the patient rights implementation in healthcare facilities? How do they work at what level and in which contexts?” Three databases PubMed, LexisNexis and Web of Science will be systematically searched until 30th April 2020, for empirical and non-empirical literature in English from both lower middle-income countries and high-income countries. Targeted search will be performed in grey literature and through citation and reference tracking of key records. Using the critical interpretive synthesis approach, a multilevel governance framework on the implementation of patient rights in health facilities which is grounded in the data will be developed.Ethics and disseminationThe review uses published literature hence ethics approval is not required. The findings of the review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.Registration numberPROSPERO 2020 CRD42020176939
