Abstract
Compliance with patients' rights by medical sciences students requires an understanding of the patients' rights charter. This study aimed to assess the awareness of medical sciences students regarding the patients' rights charter. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted, involving all final-year medical sciences students at Alborz University of Medical Sciences, Iran (n=370). Samples were selected using convenience sampling, and data were collected through a questionnaire designed to evaluate awareness of the patients' rights charter. The study included 269 students. The results indicated that over half of the students possessed a moderate level of awareness about the patients' rights charter. Analysis of specific domains revealed that the right to access services had the highest percentage, while the right to personal autonomy had the lowest percentage of awareness. Furthermore, analysis of variance revealed that medical students exhibited the highest level of awareness. Given the moderate level of awareness among medical sciences students regarding the patients' rights charter, it is essential to design and implement plans to enhance their understanding of patients' rights.
医科学生遵守患者权利需要了解患者权利宪章。本研究旨在评估医科学生对患者权利宪章的认识。研究采用描述性横断面研究方法，涉及伊朗阿尔伯兹医科大学（Alborz University of Medical Sciences）的所有医学专业应届毕业生（n=370）。研究采用便利抽样法选取样本，并通过调查问卷收集数据，调查问卷旨在评估学生对患者权利宪章的了解程度。研究包括 269 名学生。结果表明，超过半数的学生对患者权利宪章的认识处于中等水平。对具体领域的分析表明，获得服务的权利的知晓率最高，而个人自主权的知晓率最低。此外，方差分析显示，医学生的认知水平最高。鉴于医科学生对患者权利宪章的认识水平一般，因此有必要制定和实施相关计划，以提高他们对患者权利的认识。
