This research evaluated the awareness levels of nursing staff concerning patients' rights in Yemeni hospitals. Using a descriptive cross-sectional approach, the research employed a simple random sampling technique to enlist 384 nursing personnel across four hospitals situated in Sana'a, Yemen. A questionnaire based on the Yemeni Patients' Rights Charter and relevant literature on patients' rights was employed to gather data. The findings revealed a high overall awareness level among nursing staff regarding patients' rights, with a mean of 84.4%. The special right dimension exhibited the highest awareness level (88%), while the knowledge dimension recorded the lowest level (79%). The investigation identified no statistically significant variations in awareness levels attributable to demographic factors such as gender, marital status, age, occupation, experience, and educational qualifications. However, differences were observed in awareness levels based on the hospital type, as private hospitals displayed higher awareness than government hospitals. The results underscore the necessity for tailored educational initiatives targeting nursing staff to address identified knowledge gaps, particularly in government hospitals. Additionally, the study emphasizes the importance of safeguarding patients' property against theft, damage, and loss by educating nursing staff on patients' right to know the identity and qualifications of healthcare providers – a crucial aspect of patients' rights that nursing staff must be cognizant of to ensure quality care provision.

Background Patient rights are basic rules of conduct between patients, medical care providers, and the institutions and the people supporting them. Patient Right Education program provides an opportunity to improve nurses knowledge about patient rights. It fosters communication between patients and nurses, which helps achieve patient satisfaction and reduce the number of violations cases of patient's rights in the hospital. This study aims to find the effectiveness of patient rights education programs among nurses. Materials and Methods A quasiexperimental approach and one group pretest posttest design were adopted for this study. One hundred subjects were selected through a convenient sampling technique in the selected tertiary Hospital, Mangaluru, Karnataka, India. A pretest was conducted on the first day using a structured knowledge questionnaire, and the patient rights education program was conducted for the participants on the same day. The posttest was conducted on the 7th day after the education program. Results Among 100 nurses, the posttest knowledge score (9.67 + 1.67) regarding patients' rights was more than the pretest knowledge (7.43 + 1.67) score. The paired t-test showed that the calculated p-value was 19.381, more than the t ab value of 1.98. Hence, it was found that the program effectively improved the knowledge by showing the difference in mean knowledge score at a 5% significance level. For item-wise comparison, McNemar's test was used, and there was an improvement in 50% of patient rights items. Conclusion This study concluded that nurses need a proper awareness system about patient rights for nurses in hospital settings.

“…Hence, the patients’ bill of rights is considered a guide to choosing and ensuring the best future decisions that attain the patients’ benefits and can be the starting point for comprehensive interest in patients’ rights and a correct definition of the relationship between healthcare receivers and providers [ 5 ]. Patients’ rights may vary by country, authority, and cultural and social norms [ 6 ], but they guarantee proper services, patient independence and decision-making rights, privacy, and access to a complaint system [ 7 ]. It also improves patient satisfaction; reduces treatment costs, hospital stays, and irreversible physical or emotional harm; and allows patients to participate in the treatment plan [ 5 ].…”

Background Nursing students, the future nursing workforce, are expected to be exposed to ethically challenging situations in their workplaces, and they must be knowledgeable about patients’ rights to provide holistic care. However, limited research was cited on the knowledge of nursing students regarding the Bill of Rights and the factors influencing their knowledge. Purpose This study aimed to assess nursing students’ knowledge of the patients’ bill of rights and determine what factors influence this knowledge in Saudi Arabia. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional research study was conducted with a convenience sample of nursing students (N = 210) in a Saudi nursing college. Data were collected using a questionnaire that consists of three parts: demographic characteristics, knowledge of the patients’ bill of rights, and six open-ended and reflective questions. Descriptive statistics and response analysis are used. Results The statistics showed that the total knowledge score about patients’ rights ranged from 19 to 34, with a mean of 26.11 ± 2.32, among nursing students. About two-thirds of students reported adequate knowledge (n = 118, 65.5%), compared to those who had inadequate knowledge (n = 62, 34.5%). In addition to academic level and age, students reflected on many factors that shape their ethical knowledge, such as integrated, interprofessional learning experiences, workshops, a supportive and ethical learning environment, and the presence of an ethical committee. Conclusion Continuous efforts to foster ethics education with inspiring learning content and innovative instructional material are vital to improving nursing students’ knowledge and readiness. Interprofessional education (IPE) sessions and awareness programs are effective strategies to improve their ethical awareness and knowledge.
