Revista Da Escola de Enfermagem Da U S P 2021To synthesize current evidence on nurses' attitudes and/or knowledge on the entire spectrum of patient rights.
OBJECTIVE
To synthesize current evidence on nurses' attitudes and/or knowledge on the entire spectrum of patient rights.
METHOD
A systematic search of the literature was performed in Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus and CINAHL. Studies were selected according to pre-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. The Cochrane and PRISMA guidelines, including templates for systematic reviews, were applied. For rigor assessment, the Critical Appraisal Skills Program Qualitative Research Checklist, and the Center for Evidence-Based Management tool were employed.
RESULTS
Thirteen studies were included, that exhibited important methodological limitations, such as convenience sampling, mediocre response rates and inadequate instrument validity. Findings indicated: a) low level of awareness regarding patient rights among nurses, b) knowledge discrepancies on specific aspects of patient rights, c) low priority ascribed to a patient's right to access information, and d) insufficient evidence on formal educational sources of knowledge on the topic of patient rights.
CONCLUSION
Narrow geographical localization, heterogeneity and methodological limitations render generalizability of the conclusions difficult. Further research based on robust methodology is proposed.

Review
This article provides an overview of different types of rights to aid consideration of, and debate about, children and young people's rights in the context of paediatrics and child health. It demonstrates how children's rights may or may not differ from adult rights and the implications for practice. It shows that applying a children's rights framework can be more helpful in pursuing a public child health agenda than in reducing ethical or legal conflicts when interacting with child patients and their families.

Review
Raising the question of a person's free will means questioning their freedom and capacity to make choices. Therefore, being free, means being able to judge between the possibilities which are offered to us, and deciding of our own accord what is acceptable to us. The concept of free will is associated with the notion of consent, in particular during care.

OBJECTIVES
The paper proposes to identify the determinants of patients' rights awareness in mothers and to examine the relationship of health literacy with awareness of those rights.
METHODS
Our results are based on data from a convenience sample of 894 non-health professional ethnic Hungarian mothers from Hungary, Romania and Slovakia. Health literacy is measured with the HLS-EU-16 questionnaire.
RESULTS
Analysis of variance reveals a significant association of health literacy with patient rights awareness. Our results show that health literacy is the highest among patients who filed a complaint through formal channels and/or took legal measures to restore their rights upon violation. A logistic regression model is built to identify the likelihood of having high patient rights awareness, that is, acting formally for the restoration of rights upon infringement. The model controls for covariates. When controlled for covariates, the likelihood of having high patient rights awareness increases with age, and is higher for mothers with highest education, for inhabitants of larger towns, as well as for those with adequate health literacy.
CONCLUSIONS
The findings of our study have implications for health policy, as they reveal significant inequalities in patient rights culture.

Review
Providing information to surgery patients is a form of health-care governed by clearly defined therapeutic and medicolegal rules, and in particular in France by the Act of March 4, 2002 and the Code of Good Practice. The patient's right to information is implemented in a face-to-face consultation, which should be fully codified, and in a specific clinical examination, followed by information regarding the affected organ, pathology, treatment options, possible surgery, and the preconditions, risks and results associated with the procedure. Information should be personalized and as complete as possible, communicating the state of knowledge as validated by scientific societies and medical institutions. State of the art technology (dedicated website, on-line information suites, etc.) is indispensable but needs to be mastered and to adhere to the guidelines of the Council of the National Order of Medicine. Information traceability, the retraction period and proof of content of the information are essential. A signed document delivered in an informative atmosphere optimizes the exercise. Patient information is an ethical and medicolegal obligation, but above all is the expression and demonstration of the health-care potential of the practitioner and our contribution to reducing the information gap, reinforcing the cement holding our society together.

Jewish medical ethics is a term coined by the late Lord Rabbi Immanuel Jacobovits in the mid-20th century. Its principles and emphases differ in some significant ways from the currently accepted axioms in Western secular ethics. The emphasis is lesser on autonomy and more on the value of human life and on communitarianism. The Israel Patient's Rights Law reflects these differences from the Western norms.
