The attribute of dignity depends on the perspective of the individual and can be affected by interactions with others. Dignity involves the day-to-day choices by which individuals create who they will become and how they will be perceived in the context of human culture. Dignified care requires a caregiver-patient relationship that values autonomy, individual diversity, truth, justice, rights, and responsibilities. Because authoritative practice does not acknowledge the rights and dignity of others, those who have power must constrain themselves and use caution in applying judgement.
尊严的属性取决于个人的视角，并可能受到与他人互动的影响。尊严涉及个人在人类文化背景下塑造自我以及他人对其认知方式的日常选择。有尊严的护理需要一种重视自主性、个体差异、真相、正义、权利和责任的护患关系。由于权威行为不承认他人的权利和尊严，有权势的人必须自我约束，并在进行判断时谨慎行事。
