Compliance with patients’ rights by medical sciences students requires an understanding of the patients’ rights charter. This study aimed to assess the awareness of medical sciences students regarding the patients’ rights charter. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted, involving all final-year medical sciences students at Alborz University of Medical Sciences, Iran (n=370). Samples were selected using convenience sampling, and data were collected through a questionnaire designed to evaluate awareness of the patients’ rights charter. The study included 269 students. The results indicated that over half of the students possessed a moderate level of awareness about the patients’ rights charter. Analysis of specific domains revealed that the right to access services had the highest percentage, while the right to personal autonomy had the lowest percentage of awareness. Furthermore, analysis of variance revealed that medical students exhibited the highest level of awareness. Given the moderate level of awareness among medical sciences students regarding the patients’ rights charter, it is essential to design and implement plans to enhance their understanding of patients’ rights.

Patient-centered care is associated with a higher rate of patients’ satisfaction, better outcomes as well as more cost-effective care. On the other hand, the aim of the patient’s bill of rights is to ensure that patients are adequately cared for which in turn increase the quality of medical care.

This study aimed at explaining the experiences of health-care providers about providing patient-centered care in hospitalized patients based on patient’s bill of rights. Setting and Design: This qualitative study was conducted in 2018 using content analysis approach. Participants were 21 clinical nurses, nurse managers, and other health-care managers who worked in Iranian hospitals.

Data were collected purposefully using in-depth semi structured interviews and continued until data saturation. Interviews were recorded, immediately transcribed, and analyzed using Graneheim and Lundman’s conventional content analysis. Statistical Analysis Used: Frequency table was applied for Describing data by using. statistical analysis was done by SPSS software version 26.

Data analysis resulted in the extraction of three main themes (value-based care, accountability in providing information, and providing suitable amenities) and five categories (providing sensitive care, providing ethical care, professional support, in seeking of information, and responding to informational needs).,

The findings of the present study showed that health-care providers have satisfactory understanding and experience in providing patient-centered care in hospitalized patients, based on the patient’s bill of rights. Understanding patient-centered care barriers, especially by health-care providers, can secure the patient’s legal rights and provide a better and more quality service for patients and their families.

The aim of this study was to compare, review and evaluate the prior studies about patients right that have been made, to this point, regarding patient rights in Iran and Iraq.

This is a review study conducted by searching the Iranian and Iraqi databanks such as: Scientific Information Database(SID), Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology, Iran Medex and Academic scientific journals Iraqi and google scholar for both Iranian and Iraqi articles from 2002 to 2017 using the keywords such as "Patient Rights", "Patient Rights Charter", "Patient Rights Observance", "Iraq", "Iran", and "Patient Awareness and Rights".

Total of 32 Iranian and Iraqi articles, only 25 of which achieved the goal of our study.

The growing number of articles published indicates that from 1999 forwards, this topic began to attract the attention of Iranian researchers in a gradual manner, as for the Iraqi researchers, their attention has been attracted from 2013 onwards. and despite the poor knowledge of physicians about the patients' rights in Iran; they have shown acceptable awareness and attitude regarding some patients' rights. The same is true for Iraqi doctors and health care providers, but they have shown unsatisfactory consequences for some of the rights of Iraqi patients. Recommendation: Patient education through media and careful observation of the Patient Rights Charter, and educating healthcare professionals, and developing professional training on patients' legal rights by engaging them in educational sessions and lectures on patient rights is necessary. Adequate monitoring of practice according to the Patient Charter is strongly suggested.

Respect for patients’ rights and observance of professional ethics standards improves medical services that will have an essential role in promoting patients’ health.

This study aimed to determine the relationship between awareness of patient’s rights charter and professional ethics with patient’s rights charter observance.

This analytical correlational study was performed on 285 staff members (196 nurses and 85 midwives) working in 2 hospitals affiliated to Alborz University of Medical Sciences, Iran, and 2 social security hospitals. They were selected using a stratified random sampling method. The study data were collected using the sociodemographic characteristics questionnaire, awareness and observance of the patient’s rights, and professional ethics charter questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, including the independent t-test, Pearson correlation, Chi-square tests, and multivariate linear regression, were used for data analysis.

 The Mean±SD ages of nurses and midwives were 36.2±8.3 and 37.5±7.9 years, respectively. The results also showed an association of professional ethics and awareness of patient’s rights charter with patient’s rights charter observance in both nurses (P=0.0001) and midwives (P=0.0001). Based on multivariate linear regression analysis, there were relationships between gender (B=-0.3; 95%CI; -2.0, 2.0; P=0.000), work experience (B=-0.6; 95%CI; -4.0, 3.0; P=0.000), marital and employment status (B=-3.2; 95%CI; -6.0, -0.0; P=0.045), in nurses and between job position (B=9.5; 95%CI; 5.4, 13.5; P=0.000), interest to work (B=-7.9; 95%CI; -11.5, -4.3; P=0.000), and income status (B=6.3; 95%CI; 3.3, 9.2; P=0.000), in midwives with Observance of the Charter of Patient Rights.

It is possible to improve compliance with the charter of patient’s rights and its dimensions by strengthening the knowledge of nurses and midwives in this area and their professional ethics, which results in patient satisfaction in this area.

Improving the quality of patientschr('39') safety is one of the priorities of hospitals and the WHO has prioritized it as one of the basic health concerns. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the impact of "Speak Up" program in strengthening the participation and safety of patients who referred to Babolsar hospitals.

This quasi-experimental interventional study which was performed from June to December 2017. The selected patients who referred to the clinic of Shafa hospital were divided into two groups: control and experimental (50 participants in each). A pre-test was given to both samples and then training was held for the intervention group through the educational brochure. A researcher-made questionnaire was used for collecting the data based on the "SPEAK UP brochure" (α= 0.925). Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests was used for testing the research hypotheses were used through SPSS 20.

The mean scores of participation, safety, learning and asking skills in post-test of the experimental group were higher than that of  their pre-test scores. Implementation of the SPEAK UP program had a significant impact on participation, safety skills, learning skills and the asking skills of the patients who referred to the hospital.

Promoting the implementation of "SPEAK UP" program through using  7 educational rules has a significant impact on the free expression of opinions, and enhancing  the patientschr('39') participation level  and improving the safety  of patients  who referred to hospitals and other health centers.

Adherence to patients’ rights is one of the most important ethical issues in the hospital that should be considered. An efficient health system requires active participation and proper interaction between health care recipients and providers.

This study was conducted to determine the status of observing the charter of patients’ rights and related factors from the perspective of hospitalized patients in educational-therapeutic centers in Rasht City, Iran.

The present study was a cross-sectional analytical study conducted on 342 hospitalized patients during discharge in Rasht City in north of Iran educational-therapeutic centers in 2018. The samples were selected by stratified random sampling.  The study instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire with two sections: The first section was related to individual, social, and disease-related information, and the second section to determining the status of the patient’s compliance. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive (Mean±SD) and inferential statistics (The Chi-Square test, Friedman, and logistic regression).

The status of observing the charter of patients’ rights from the patients’ point of view was desirable at 65.8% in general, 85.1% in case of receiving health services, 3.69% in receiving information, 57.6% in the patient’s right to choose and decide freely in receiving health services, 66.7% in providing health services based on the respect for the patient’s privacy and adhering to the principle of confidentiality, and 19% in access to efficient systems to handle complaints. Also, among the variables studied, the only reason for referral (the physician’s recommendation to emergency referral) was related to the status of observance of the charter of patients’ rights and was considered as a predictor (P=0.013), OR 1.9, CI95%; 1.150-3.233).

According on presenting the results to the health service managers, emphasizing the need to observe the charter of patients’ rights by the health system staff, measures can be taken to improve the status of patients’ rights and prevent any violation of their rights, who are considered vulnerable in society.

Observance of patients' rights is a significant indicator in evaluating the quality of healthcare services. The COVID-19 pandemic has become a global crisis and affected the interactions between healthcare providers and patients. This study examined the COVID-19 patients’ viewpoint about the observance of their rights by physicians and nurses. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional work of research conducted on the COVID-19 patients in Zanjan Province, Iran, in September 2020. The subjects were selected through convenience sampling, and data was collected using a two-section questionnaire consisting of a demographic characteristics survey and a Likert-type scale for evaluating patients' rights observance. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were found to be acceptable, and the collected data was analyzed in SPSS v.26 using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and ANOVA test.The mean score of observance of patients' rights was 69.60±7.36, representing a moderate level. The highest and lowest scores for the observance of patients' rights were related to the dimensions of courteous communication and responsibility, respectively. A significant relationship was found between the observance of patients’ rights and their marital status, health insurance, and education level (P<0.05). This study showed that the observance of the COVID-19 patients' rights has not been affected by the social agitation caused by this disease.

Patient's rights as one of the basic pillars in defining the standards of clinical services indicate that the patient's biopsychosocial and spiritual needs are met in the form of standards, rules, and regulations. This study aimed to evaluate the level of awareness and observance of patients' rights by nurses working in hospitals affiliated to Larestan University of Medical Sciences.

In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 83 clinical nurses were recruited by convenience sampling method. To collect the research data, researcher-made questionnaires, including Patient's Rights Awareness and "Patient's Rights Observance were used. The reliability of the two parts of the questionnaire was reported using Cronbach's alpha coefficients as 0.51 and 0.69, respectively. The obtained data were analyzed in SPSS using descriptive and Chi-squared tests. 

The knowledge of patient rights was poor, moderate, and good in 81.9%, 16.9%, and 1.2% of the nurses, respectively. Additionally, nurses’ performance regarding patients' rights was reported as moderate in 83.1%, poor in 13.3%, and good only in 3.6% of them. Chi-squared test results revealed that among the demographic variables, only gender and education were significantly correlated with the knowledge and practice of nurses regarding the observance of patients' rights (P<0.05).

The study participants' knowledge of patients' bill of rights was poor, and their observance of patients' rights was moderate; thus, interventions should be performed to prevent the violations of patients' rights. Continuing education programs and in-service training about the observance of the patients' bill of rights should be considered more seriously.
