“…Regarding nurses' level of awareness of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenic patients ,the current study shows that majority of nurses weren't aware of positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia. Meanwhile this finding disagreed with (Kumar, Mehta & Kalra, 2011) who reported that majority of nurses had a moderate knowledge in psychiatric field. In our point of view, this disagreement may be due to inadequate or insufficient scholastic psychiatric courses, inadequate scholastic clinical training, disinteresting nurses to update their knowledge and limited numbers of nurses compared to large numbers of patients (4-5 nurses in every department: nearly 40 patients).…”

“…The use of seclusion is one of the most controversial practices in psychiatric care and touches this important topic clinically, ethically, and legally (Happell & Harrow, 2010;VanDerNagel, Tuts, Hoekstra, & Noorthoorn, 2009). Psychiatric nurses should be familiar with legal and ethical aspects of care and treatment of patients with mental disorders which focus on the rights of patients and the quality of care they should receive (Kumar, Mehta, & Kalra, 2011).…”

Middle Eastern countries have certain cultural, social and economic characteristics in common with similar aspirations. The percentage of elderly in the Middle East is expected to increase with improvement of the health care delivery in the area. Countries of the region, like other developing countries, need to define the policies and programs that will reduce the burden of aging populations on the society and its economy. There is a need to ensure the availability of health and social services for older persons and promote their continuing participation in a socially and economically productive life.

“…In fact, nurses face issues of justice daily when organizing care for their patients, deciding the time spent with each of them based on their needs, and fairly distributing resources. [5] In India, Kumar, Mehta, and Kalra [6] reported that 65% of psychiatric nurses have a moderate knowledge about patients' rights at Kochi, with one third possessing a high level of knowledge about the rights. Hence, psychiatric nurses' clearly play a significant role in protecting patients' rights as they are the ones who spend the greatest amount of time with the patients whilst meeting all their physical and emotional needs.…”

Background and objective: The management of psychiatric patients and the law of ethic already exists. Therefore, nursing ethics are necessary for psychiatric nurses since they are involved in providing services that impact human life. The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of an educational program in enhancing nurses’ knowledge regarding their responsibilities toward psychiatric patients’ ethical and legal rights.Methods: A quasi experimental study design with one group pre/post was used with 30 nurses recruited conveniently from Psychiatric Hospital Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Nurses were questioned using 5 short answer questions, 11 multiple choice questions and the Structured Knowledge Questionnaire developed by Kumar, Mehta, and Kalra (2011).Results: A total of 30 nurses were recruited, with their age ranging between 25-54 years old; the majority (59.4%) were married, while 78.1% neither have psychiatric nursing experiences nor did they study ethics during their undergraduate years. The total mean score of pre-knowledge questionnaire was 27.2 ± 2.97 compared to 30.2 ± 2.40 in post assessment, with a significant difference between pre and post assessment. On the other hand, the total mean percentage of nurse’s theoretical background in pre assessment was 25% compared with 29% with no significant difference between pre and post interventions.Conclusions: Nurses’ knowledge was inadequate regarding ethical and legal rights. The current study findings evidenced the effectiveness of the educational intervention in changing the nurses’ knowledge significantly. Therefore, it is a necessity to ensure that nurses working in psychiatric hospitals have the necessary expertise regarding the legal and ethical issues involved with caring for psychiatric patients, to decrease the effects of malpractices and negligence in psychiatric nursing practice.
