    ABSTRACT

    “AWARENESS OF PATIENTS IN ITRMC ON THEIR RIGHTS”

    Adviser Mr. Teofilo P. De Villa

    The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship

    between the patient’s profile and the level of awareness of patients in

    Ilocos training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) on their rights in

    order to come up with a recommendation give highest priority to the

    patients’ rights in order to safeguard the patients’ dignity and integrity,

    and to minimize the cases of medical negligence or malpractice, and for

    the patients to recognize their critical role to play in the enhancement of

    these rights; since awareness of their rights connotes responsibility not

    only for themselves but for the improvement of the health care system as

    well.

    The descriptive correlation research design was used in the study

    because it described and interpreted the level of awareness of confined

    patients in Ilocos training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) on their

    rights. Correlation was employed because it determined the relationship

    between the profile and the level of awareness of patients in Ilocos

    training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) on their rights.


    In order to gather data on the level of awareness of patients in

    Ilocos training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) on their rights, a

    questionnaire composed of the different rights of patients was used.

    The questionnaire was administered personally by the researchers

    during the month of June to July 2006. To determine the profile

    respondents, frequency count and percentages were used. Weighted

    mean was used to determine the level of awareness of patients, and

    Pearson product moment correlation was utilized to determine if there is

    a significant relationship between the profile and the level of awareness

    of patients in Ilocos training and Regional Medical Center (ITRMC) on

    their rights.

    Findings show that majority of the respondents was female ages

    26-31 years old, and most of them have finished a college degree, and

    who had neither employed in a professional nor a technical work.

    Data collected also showed that the patients are basically aware of

    their rights. However, among those twenty-one (21) rights that were

    comprised in the study, it was the right to considerate and respectful

    care that had the highest weighted mean, and on the other hand, the

    right to be informed of the medical consequences of one’s refusal or plan

    of care had the lowest weighted mean.
