The attitude of nurses with regard to patients' rights bears greater influence on its practice in the health-care settings. As health-care organizations grow toward standardization, positive changes in the attitude of health-care professionals are demanding.
The objectives of this study were to assess the attitude of nurses with regard to patient rights in two teaching hospitals, to devise a training program on patient rights for nurses, and to compare the impact of training with regard to patient rights on the attitude of nurses in two teaching hospitals.
This quasi-experimental study with one-group pre- and post-test research design for a sample of 200 nurses was carried out during the year 2017 at two multispecialty hospitals in India. The sample size was selected based on convenience sampling method. For the pretest, attitude was measured on a 5-point Likert scale through a questionnaire containing 27 items. Small-group teaching method was used to train nurses in groups of 8-10. Posttest was done through the same attitude questionnaire 1 week after the training program.
In both the hospitals, the nurses had a favorable attitude toward patient rights before the training program; after training, majority of the nurses had the most favorable attitude toward patient rights. A statistically significant difference was observed in the attitude of nurses with regard to patient rights within the hospitals, before and after training nurses on patient rights ( < 0.001).
Health-care organizations require developing planned teaching programs for nursing care professionals in order to influence their knowledge and attitude on patient rights. Their positive attitude toward patient rights leads to improved outcomes and effective nursing care practices.
护士对患者权利的态度在医疗环境中的实际应用方面具有更大影响。随着医疗保健机构朝着标准化发展，医疗保健专业人员态度的积极转变变得至关重要。
本研究的目的是评估两家教学医院护士对患者权利的态度，设计一项针对护士的患者权利培训计划，并比较患者权利培训对两家教学医院护士态度的影响。
本准实验研究采用单组前后测研究设计，于2017年在印度的两家多专科医院对200名护士进行了抽样调查。样本量采用便利抽样法选取。在预测试中，通过一份包含27个条目的问卷，采用5点李克特量表测量态度。采用小组教学法，将护士分成8 - 10人的小组进行培训。培训项目结束1周后，通过相同的态度问卷进行后测。
在两家医院中，护士在培训项目前对患者权利持积极态度；培训后，大多数护士对患者权利持最积极的态度。在医院内部，对护士进行患者权利培训前后，护士对患者权利的态度存在统计学上的显著差异（<0.001）。
医疗保健机构需要为护理专业人员制定有计划的教学项目，以影响他们对患者权利的知识和态度。他们对患者权利的积极态度会带来更好的结果和有效的护理实践。
