ABSTRACT
Summary

Objective:

patient rights are defined as the rules of conduct between the people who benefit from health services and the health institutions and personnel who provide them. As the protection and provision of these rights are closely related to the nursing trade, these professionals must have thorough knowledge about this issue. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acquaintance and attitudes of working nurses in Corum/Turkey regarding patient rights and to create the basis for a planned educational program.

Methods:

sample selection was not performed in this study, but all nurses (n=939) who were working in the course of this study constituted the sample. Survey forms were used as data collection tools.

Results:

the study revealed that 92.3% had received education about patient rights, 2.2% had never heard anything about this term and 86.6% became aware of it through sources from outside of school. It was established that the attitudes of nurses regarding patient rights differ for every patient and that this rate ranges from 35.8 to 98.1%.

Conclusion:

there is a requirement for more studies on the subject of patient rights, as they play an important role in the development of health services. In that regard, patient rights centers should be established and carried out according to the foreseen model set by national and international health systems. Studies aiming to teach health personnel, patients and their relatives about patient rights must be carried out.
RESUMO
Resumo

Objetivo:

como a proteção dos direitos do paciente e o fornecimento de direitos relativos aos cuidados de saúde estão estreitamente relacionados à profissão de enfermagem, as enfermeiras devem ter um conhecimento impecável sobre o assunto. Este estudo tem como objetivo avaliar os conhecimentos e as atitudes das enfermeiras que trabalham na Turquia em relação aos direitos do paciente e criar uma base para um programa educacional a ser planificado.

Métodos:

não foi feita uma seleção da amostra para este estudo; todas as enfermeiras (n=939) que trabalharam durante o período em que o estudo foi efetuado constituíram a amostra. Formulários do questionário foram utilizados como instrumentos de recolhimento de dados.

Resultados:

neste estudo, foi constatado que 92.3% receberam formação sobre direitos dos pacientes, 2.2% nunca ouviram nada sobre o termo e 86.6% tomaram conhecimento do termo por meio de fontes externas à escola. Determinou- -se que as atitudes das enfermeiras em relação aos direitos do paciente são diferentes para cada paciente e que essa taxa varia entre 35.8 e 98.1%.

Conclusão:

há uma demanda de estudos dedicados aos direitos dos pacientes, pois desempenham um papel importante no desenvolvimento dos serviços de saúde. Nesse sentido, centros de direito do paciente devem ser estabelecidos e geridos de acordo com o modelo previsto no sistema de saúde nacional e internacional. Estudos com objetivo de informar profissionais de saúde e familiares de pacientes sobre os direitos dos pacientes devem ser efetuados.
