EVALUATION OF PATIENTS' ATTITUDES TOWARDS USING PATIENT RIGHTS

Abstract

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the attitudes of patients to exercise their rights. Method: The descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in June-August 2019 with the voluntary participation of 400 patients who received inpatient treatment at a university hospital in Eskişehir. In the study, the data were collected using “Information Form Regarding Personal Characteristics” and “Attitude Scale for Using Patient Rights”. Results: The average age of the individuals participating in the research is 39.82 ± 14.10, 51.3% are male, 63.3% are married, 38% are high school graduates, 35.8% are office and service personnel, 72%, 5 of them are with SGK, 43.3% of the income and expense are equal and 55.3% of them live in the city center. 38.7% of the participants have applied to the hospital 2-3 times, 41.8% of them have information about patient rights. 19.8% of the participants showed their health workers as the source of information, 45.5% of them expressed their desire to receive training in the patient rights department on patient rights and 47.8% stated that they applied to the relevant health institution for complaints. The average score of the participants in the Attitude Scale for Using Patient Rights is 115.61 ± 19.42. A statistically significant difference was found between the attitudes of patients to use patient rights and the variables such as gender, age, education level, occupation, income level, place of residence, information about patient rights and the person to be educated about patient rights (for each p<0.05). Conclusion: It was concluded that the attitudes of the participants in terms of exercising their patients' rights were generally high and especially that patients' attitudes towards getting information and respectful service, choosing and changing staff, examining records, visitors, companions, security and complaints were more than others.
