Likewise, we are in agreement with the study of Ibrahim et al 18 who studied the effect of training sessions about patients' rights in two Egyptian hospitals. The training sessions were developed based on the baseline information gathered in the assessment phase.…”

Background: The key competency of health professionals is their ability to protect the health of individuals. The recent developments of the healthcare systems lead to increased hazards in medical practice which raise the importance of knowing and practicing the patient rights. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a training program to improve awareness and knowledge of doctors about patient rights in Zagazig general hospital. Method: The current study is an interventional study that was conducted in Zagazig general hospital. A total of 70 physicians were evaluated regarding patient rights then a training program was conducted and evaluated three months later. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS program version 20 considering statistical significance when P value<0.05. Results: Only 51.4 % of the studied physicians were aware about patients' rights. There was poor attention to patients' rights' practice as more than half of the study population rarely or never paid attention to patients' rights during practice. About 50 % of participants perceived that patients' rights have influence on medical practice. In general, there was poor satisfaction from the surveyed physicians about the organizational climate which would explain the poor compliance with the patients' rights. Implementation of training program resulted in significant improvement in physicians' knowledge and awareness about patients' rights. Conclusion There was poor knowledge about patients' rights. This is related to the organizational climate performance and application of educational program resulted in improved knowledge about patients' rights.

“…These factors include ignoring the patients' right, inattentiveness to patients' thoughts and feelings, mismanagement in accepting a large number of patients, a patriarchal approach from physicians, effective interactions, provision of patients with necessary information upon admission and discharge, and the professional role of healthcare staff. 22,[64][65][66] In addition, in the reviewed studies, such factors as trust, improved health, sense of selfidentity and empowerment, adherence to treatment, and satisfaction, were introduced as the consequences of privacy. 20,31,58,67 There are a large number of studies investigating privacy; nevertheless, none of them have provided a clear definition of the dimensions, antecedents, and consequences of this concept.…”

“…We propose that even if nurses are aware of patients’ rights, lack of knowledge on the existence of a formal charter of rights might preclude the nurses from implementing these rights. Thus, as there is evidence that training sessions lead to both better knowledge about the Charter as well as perceptions regarding patients’ rights, 27,28 we recommend that the government to undertake training sessions to educate nursing staff nationwide on the existence the Charter of patients’ rights and its content.…”

Background: Promoting patients’ rights is essential for defining the standards of clinical services within a country. Given their responsibilities, nurses can be the primary target for research to investigate the issue of patients’ rights within a healthcare system. As such, assessing the knowledge of nurses about patients’ rights is an essential step toward improving the quality of healthcare in limited resource settings like Sudan. Objectives: We aimed to assess the level of knowledge about patients’ rights among the nursing staff at Friendship Teaching Hospital in Sudan. Methods: This hospital-based cross-sectional study was carried out at the Friendship Teaching Hospital in Sudan. We surveyed the totality of nurses (95) at the hospital using an amended survey. The data were analyzed in SPSS software using descriptive and inferential statistics. Ethical consideration: The study was approved by the Research Unit of Khartoum Ministry of Health and the Hospital administration. All respondents gave verbal consent prior to participating in the study. Results: Only 48.4% of the participants knew about the existence of the Sudanese Charter of patients’ rights. Nonetheless, our analysis found that 65.8% of nurses had acceptable level of knowledge (scored more than 75% of the total knowledge score) of patients’ rights, and none of the participant scored less than 50% of the total knowledge score. Finally, we found no statistical association between the knowledge score and demographic data, educational level, whether the participant knows about the existence of the Charter or not and a number of other factors. Conclusion: Nurses’ lack of knowledge about the existence of the Sudanese Charter of patients’ rights adopted in 2009 rights confirms the need for further efforts by Ministry of Health to promote the document. Furthermore, further research is needed to investigate the disconnect between nurses’ lack of knowledge about the existence of the charter and their awareness of the rights within the charter as well as the actual implementation of rights.
