Maintainance of patients' dignity during hospitalization: Comparison of staff–patient observations and patient feedback through interviews
International Journal of Nursing Practice, 09/02/09

Henderson A et al. – The findings identified deviations to ideal practice in the maintenance of the physical environment and communication styles of the nursing staff. Maintenance of dignity and privacy were not identified by patients during the interviews as being under threat despite deviations to ideal practice being observed. Patients possibly accept that 'ideal practice' is not always provided to them because nurses are 'busy', or other factors take precedence in this environment. It is possible that a prevailing culture influences patients' perceptions of whether dignity is maintained.
