Respect for the rights of pediatric patients in pediatric wards
POJEROVÁ, Natálie
Current situation: These days, we try to adapt the daily routine and premises as much as possible to children's patients during hospitalization (playrooms, adequate contact with other children, experienced and trained medical staff ...). These principles were precisely formulated and approved at the 1st European Conference on Hospitalized Children in May 1988 as the Charter of the Rights of Hospitalized Children. The task of medical staff is to respect the rights of pediatric patients. Parents and their children should be involved in treatment and nursing decision-making. Objectives: To map the observance of the rights of pediatric patients in the hospital from the point of view of nursing staff. To map the experience of pediatric patients with the observance of their rights during hospitalization. Methodology: The research used a quantitative research survey using a non-standardized questionnaire and the qualitative research method used semi-structured in-depth interviews. The questionnaire was designed for nurses and contained 27 questions. Interviews were conducted with children aged 10 to 15 years. Research group: It consisted of 74 pedaitrics nurses and 6 children (from 10 to 15 years) with experience in hospitalization. Results: Based on the results obtained from the questionnaires, it can be stated that the education of pediatric nurses does not affect the observance of the rights of hospitalized children. Of the respondents, 44.6 % of pediatric nurses stated that they had the high school education and 55.4 % had a higher vocational school or university education. 94.6 % of pediatric nurses comply with all units of the Charter of the Rights of Hospitalized Children and 5.4 % rather do not comply with it. Hypothesis: There are differences in the observance of rights in pediatric patients in connection with the education of nursing staff has not been confirmed to us. We used Fisher's exact test with a significance level of p = < 0.05. Interviews with the children showed that their rights were respected during hospitalization. Recommendations for practice: Final results will be published in journal called Pediatrie pro praxi.
