| description | INTRODUCTION: The Patients' Bill of Rights allows for the use of various rights in the provision of healthcare
services, facilitating the regulation of relations between public authorities and patients, as well as between
healthcare providers and patients. The study aimed to assess the degree of correlation between knowledge of
the Patients' Bill of Rights and the occurrence of aggressive incidents in the perception of hospitalized patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study was conducted in 2019 among 593 patients of the Clinical Hospital in Rzeszów.
The study used a patient questionnaire developed by the authors and the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire.
Results and conclusions: The initial qualification used the Hodgkinson Short Form Mental Test Score
(AMTS), consisting of 10 questions — a score of 7 or more eligible respondents for the study. The Patients'
Rights Charter imposes obligations on healthcare providers and defines standards of practice. Mutual
understanding and cooperation between the therapeutic team and the patient are key factors determining
their relationship. Knowledge of the patient's rights enables urgent practice and sustains the fight for the
highest values — health and life. Informing patients about the Patient's Bill of Rights, ensuring privacy,
and providing knowledge about the possibility of refusing medical services significantly reduces the risk
of aggressive behaviors such as anger, hostility, and verbal and physical aggression. |
