This study assessed the observance of hospitalized patients' rights from both patients' and health-care workers' perspectives. The results show that patients and health-care workers think patients' rights are respected at a medium level. However, health-care workers reported lower levels of respect for patients' rights than patients, and senior health-care workers reported even lower levels than their younger colleagues. Older patients and those hospitalized in internal medicine wards reported lower respect for autonomy and responsiveness.
Considering the importance of respecting and observing patients' rights, this study aimed to assess the level of observance of hospitalized patients' rights from both patients' and health-care workers' (HCWs) perspectives. This cross-sectional descriptive analytic study reports the responses of 486 patients and 887 HCWs in a public referral university hospital. The study illustrates that patients and HCWs think patients' rights are respected at a medium level; however, HCWs reported lower levels of respect for patients' rights than patients, and senior HCWs reported even lower levels than their younger colleagues. Older patients and those hospitalized in internal medicine wards reported lower respect for autonomy and responsiveness, and patients' companions reported lower levels of respect for patients' rights than the patients themselves.
