“…This study revealed that maintaining the physical-sexual, psychological and informational privacy for women in labor during the delivery was essential from the perspective of professional caregivers. Similarly, in other studies maintaining the informational and physical privacy of patients was considered as an important factor affecting their dignity 6,7,9 . In most studies done in Iran, maintaining the sexual privacy of patients has been emphasized, showing the importance attributed to the maintenance such privacy within Iranian culture 7,9,11 .…”

“…Ignoring the patients' needs will also threaten their dignity 27 . As Hosseini et al (2016) claimed in their study, comprehensive attention is an important and influential factor on a patient's dignity and makes a patient feel secure; since nursing is a holistic science in providing care for patients, all the patients' medical and caregiving needs should be attended to 7 . Nevertheless, in Iranian culture, scarce consideration been given to the importance of the presence and support of family members, especially the spouses of pregnant women in the delivery setting, and how this impacts on the promotion of dignity.…”

Introduction: Dignified care is one of the moral responsibilities of professional caregivers. However, in many cases the dignity of hospitalized patients, especially women in the delivery room, is not maintained. Dignity is an abstract concept and there has been no previous research exploring the dignity of pregnant women in the delivery room in Iran. Objectives: The objective of this study is to define and explain the concept of dignity for pregnant women in the delivery room from the perspectives of professional caregivers. Research design: This is qualitative research. The data were collected through in-depth semi-structured individual interviews. The conventional content analysis method was used to analyze the data. In qualitative content analysis, participant narrative is examined in-depth and sorted into categories and themes. Participants and research context: Potential participants who met the entrance criteria for this study were approached between July 2016 and February 2017. In all, 20 professional caregivers working in the delivery room setting within Iranian general hospitals were invited to participate in the study. The sampling was done through targeted sampling until saturation was achieved. Ethical considerations: The research ethics committee of the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences has approved the study’s protocol and all commonly recognized ethical principles were followed throughout the study. Findings: The findings of this study were presented in three main themes, including “privacy,” “respecting patients’ preferences,” and “comprehensive attention” and eight categories. Discussions and conclusion: Women in the delivery room need to be taken care of in an environment where healthcare staff promote the preservation of dignity through maintaining privacy, by providing attentive care and through ensuring that patient preferences regarding care and treatment are respected. In such an environment, the dignity of these women would be maintained and desirable outcomes achieved.

“…1 –3 Dignity has various definitions in different cultures, however, the concept of dignity in Iranian culture can be interpreted as value, honor, respect, and human reverence. 4 On the other hand, maintaining dignity is one of the most fundamental moral responsibilities of caregivers 5 ; therefore, national and international nursing organizations consider maintaining the dignity of patients and caregivers as the most important principle of caregiving and professional ethics of nursing. 4,5 Respecting dignity increases the motivation of caregivers to provide high-quality care and consequently leads to a proper relationship between the client and caregivers.…”

Introduction: Maintaining dignity is one of the most important human rights. However, maintaining and promoting the dignity of nursing students as an important caregiver group has scarcely been considered. Dignity can be viewed as an abstract concept particularly in relation to the perspective of male nursing student perspective. Therefore, more investigation is required to explore the male students’ understanding of the concept of dignity. Objectives: The purpose of this study is to define and explain the concept of dignity among male nursing students in the neonatal intensive care unit. Research design: This is a qualitative content analysis study. The data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews. The data were analyzed by conventional content analysis method. Participants and research context: Twenty male nursing students in public health centers in Iran were selected by targeted sampling to achieve data saturation between February 2017 and November 2017. Findings: The findings of this study were presented in three main themes, including “extensive support,” “belief in ability,” and “participation in decision making,” and 7 sub-categories of data were extracted. Ethical considerations: The study’s protocol was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences and the ethical principles were followed throughout the study. Discussion and conclusion: According to the findings of the study, male nursing students required extensive support, and their academic and practical skills required to be respected; in addition, they should be involved in decision making, because in such an environment, the dignity of these students will be maintained and promoted. Therefore, it is suggested that a cultural, professional, and institutional background in which all components of the male nursing student’s dignity are protected and emphasized should be provided.
