Dignity is a fundamental concept that can be modified during hospitalization by the behavior of professionals. Despite its importance, there are few instruments to evaluate it. A transversal, descriptive, analytical and quantitative study evaluates the patient’s perception of dignity based on the “Cuestionario de percepción de dignidad de paciente hospitalizado (CuPDPH)” in Spanish and validated. The sample was composed of 148 men and 138 women with an average age of 62.82 (SD 4.05). The median in the item scores (Scale 1-5) was 4.59, and the mean 4.51 SD (0.34). The mean of the sum of the CuPDPH scores was 84.51(SD 9.3), (min. 19-max. 95). The items of the dimension labeled as “identity” obtained an average score of 4.85(SD 0.04), the dimension “consideration” 3.97(SD 0.66). No significant differences were found in the scores and sociodemographic variables. The results allow us to identify highlights and areas of improvement in the care and respect for the dignity of hospitalized persons. Going deeper into the topic is an opportunity, on the way to professional excellence, defending technical competence and ethical competence.

住院患者对尊重和维护尊严的看法

尊严是一个基本概念，可以在住院期间通过专业人员的行为进行修改。尽管它很重要，但很少有工具可以评估它。一项横向、描述性、分析性和定量研究根据西班牙文的“医院患者尊严感知问卷 (CuPDPH)”评估患者对尊严的感知并得到验证。样本由 148 名男性和 138 名女性组成，平均年龄为 62.82（标准差 4.05）。项目得分（量表 1-5）的中位数为 4.59，平均值为 4.51 SD（0.34）。CuPDPH 分数总和的平均值为 84.51（SD 9.3），（最小 19-最大 95）。标注为“身份”的维度项目平均得分为4.85（SD 0.04），维度“考虑”为3.97（SD 0.66）。在分数和社会人口学变量中没有发现显着差异。结果使我们能够确定在护理和尊重住院患者尊严方面的重点和改进领域。深入探讨这个话题是一个机会，在通往专业卓越、捍卫技术能力和道德能力的道路上。
