Abstract

Purpose This study aims to assess the awareness about the rights of people with mental illness in the main psychiatric hospital in Tunisia among the service users, the family members and the staff. Design/methodology/approach The Convention of Rights of People with Disabilities mandates that State Parties initiate and maintain campaigns and human rights training to promote understanding of the rights of people with mental illnesses, considered as a main factor for their fulfillment. Service users, family members and staff evaluated, through a survey, the importance of ten rights for persons with mental illness, stated in the convention. Findings Disparities were found in the perception of the different rights by and between the three groups. The highest levels of awareness were associated with the freedom from torture or degrading treatment and the right to live with dignity and respect, whereas the lower importance were assigned to the right to participation in recovery plans, to give consent and to exercise legal capacity. Originality/value The lack of awareness and the poor perception of rights of people with mental illness is one of the barriers to their achievement. More training and awareness raising is necessary.
诊断患有精神疾病的人的人权:突尼斯服务使用者、家庭成员和保健专业人员的看法
目的本研究旨在评估突尼斯主要精神病院服务使用者、家属和工作人员对精神病患者权利的认识。设计/方法/方法《残疾人权利公约》要求缔约国发起并保持运动和人权培训,以促进对精神疾病患者权利的理解,这被视为实现这些权利的主要因素。服务使用者、家庭成员和工作人员通过调查评估了《公约》规定的精神病患者十项权利的重要性。发现三组人对不同权利的认知存在差异。认识程度最高的是免于酷刑或有辱人格的待遇以及有尊严和受尊重地生活的权利,而较低的是参与康复计划、给予同意和行使法律能力的权利。独创性/价值精神疾病患者缺乏意识和对权利的认知不足是他们取得成就的障碍之一。需要进行更多的培训和提高认识。
