Weak Ring of Family Planning Trainings: Patient Rights
Weak Ring of Family Planning Trainings: Patient Rights
Family Planning (FP) services are services offered for individuals to have children on whenever and in the number they wish. For the successand sustainability of Family Planning services, it is necessary to provide a service respecting patient rights by health professionals. One of themost important reasons for violations of patient rights is lack of knowledge of healthcare professionals regarding this issue. However, patientrights are not discussed enough in trainings of FP.The aim of this study is to propose a training program for the purpose of increasing awareness and to gain skills about patient rights forhealthcare professionals rendering service in the field of FP. The training program is proposed as three days. During the program, an interactivetraining environment would be provided, and methods such as interactive presentations, small group works, and role play would be used. It isexpected at the end of the training that participants gain enough skills in the subject of recognizing patient rights and rendering services whichare respectful for patient rights. Six months after training, participants will be contacted to evaluate the use of objectives in professional life andhow they are transferred to work. As we suggested, regular trainings for continuous professional development of healthcare professionals, whowork in the FP field would increase quality of health care.
