“…In a study conducted in Iran,27 where companions have a similarly significant role in hospitals, patients stated that they would not have received dignified care without their companion’s help. Another study in Iran28 found that patients feel unvalued and disrespected if healthcare providers do not respect the patients’ companions.…”

“…Similarly, the findings of Rehnsfeldt et al (2014) study in Denmark, Sweden and Norway showed that patients care was carried out based on routinized care without considering individual's self-worth and dignity (Rehnsfeldt et al, 2014). Although there is lack of evidence regarding cancer patients' perception of dignity in Iranian context, but the findings of few studies suggest that the dignity of Iranian patients is not completely maintained in clinical settings (Wilson et al, 2005;Nayeri et al, 2011;Ebrahimi et al, 2012).…”

“…The finding of other studies also showed that the respect for patients' privacy and dignity are interconnected. The lack of privacy in medical centers threatened patients' dignity (Matiti et al, 2007;Ebrahimi et al, 2012;Torabizadeh et al, 2013). The findings of some studies in Iran also revealed that patients' privacy is not protected appropriately (Nayeri et al, 2010;Bagheri et al, 2012).…”

Background: There are several factors that threaten the dignity of cancer patients in hospital settings. However, there is limited literature regarding the degree to which dignity of cancer patients is actually respected in daily clinical practice. The aims of this study were therefore to explore cancer patient perceptions of respecting their dignity and related variables in an Iranian cancer specific center. Materials and Methods: This descriptivecorrelational study was carried out among 250 cancer patients admitted to a cancer specific center in East Azerbaijan Province, Iran. These patients were selected using a convenience sampling method. The Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) was used for data collection. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Results: The patients' scores in 18 out of 25 items of PDI were 3 or greater which indicate the importance of considering these items in clinical settings. Also, the score of patients in three sub-scales of PDI including illnessrelated concerns, personal dignity, and social dignity were 74, 65 and 57, respectively (based on a total 100). The overall score of PDI was statistically associated with age, history of disease recurrence, education, employment and economic status of participants. Conclusions: According to the study findings the dignity of Iranian cancer patients is not completely respected in clinical settings which require special considerations. As nurses spend more time at patients' bedsides, they have an important role in maintaining and promoting dignified care.

“…Nurses across the UK have reported concerns, and indeed, distress about being unable to preserve dignity for patients due to organisational and environmental constraints, staffing issues and lack of resources (Baillie, Gallagher, & Wainwright, ). Internationally, studies from the UK (Baillie, ; Calnan et al., , other European countries (Hall & Høy, ; Ferri, Muzzalupo, & Di Lorenzo, ; Rasmussen & Delmar, ) the United States (Jacelon, ), Canada (Jacobson, ), Iran (Ebrahimi, Torabizadeh, Mohammadi, & Valizadeh, ; Torabizadeh et al., ) and Taiwan (Lin & Tsai, ; Lin, Tsai, & Chen, ) have revealed that dignity in acute hospitals is affected by patients’ health and functional status, the physical environment and culture and care approaches and interactions with staff. A recent systematic review found no studies that directly evaluated interventions to improve the dignity of older people in acute care settings (Zahran et al., ).…”

Aims and objectives To report the findings from interviews conducted as part of a wider study on interventions to support dignified care in older people in acute hospital care. The data in this study present the interview data. Background Dignity is a complex concept. Despite a plethora of recommendations on how to achieve dignified care, it remains unclear how to attain this in practice and what the priorities of patients and staff are in relation to dignity. Design A purposive sample of older patients and staff took part in semi‐structured interviews and gave their insight on the meaning of dignity and examples of what sustains and breaches a patient's dignity in acute hospital care. Method Thirteen patients and 38 healthcare professionals in a single metropolitan hospital in the UK interviewed. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and underwent a thematic analysis. Results The meaning of dignity was broadly agreed on by patients and staff. Three broad themes were identified: the meaning of dignity, staffing level and its impact on dignity, and organisational culture and dignity. Registered staff of all healthcare discipline and student nurses report very little training on dignity or care of the older person. Conclusion There remain inconsistencies in the application of dignified care. Staff behaviour, a lack of training and the organisational processes continue to result in breaches to dignity of older people. Clinical nurses have a major role in ensuring dignified care for older people in hospital. Relevance to clinical practice There needs to be systematic dignity‐related training with regular refreshers. This education coupled with measures to change the cultural attitudes in an organisation towards older peoples’ care should result in long‐term improvements in the level of dignified care. Hospital managers have an important role in changing system to ensure that staff deliver the levels of care they aspire to.
