Comparison of the Concept of Patient Dignity in Islamic and Nursing Texts
Main Article Content
Abstract
Human dignity is regarded as the presupposition of respect for patients. Dignity is associated with different meanings in cultures. In this research was compared dignity in Islamic and nursing texts. Research was done in three stage; definition of dignity based on Islamic texts, definition of dignity based on nursing text, comparison between two definitions. finding showed; both Islam and nursing have Inherent dignity but the origin of dignity differs; in Islam was considered it because human beings were created by God, in nursing human beings are worthy because they are characterized by authority. In Islam Adventitious dignity is other kind of dignity that achieved as the result of obedience to God. Nursing texts consider such criteria as societies’ cultures, customs, age, sex, job and beliefs in defining other types of dignity. But, both perspectives take similar approaches that ethics must be based on Inherent dignity. Both perspectives argue that delving into other types of dignity in providing nursing services can create moral problems. Ultimately, nursing texts emphasize the practical aspects whereas the Islamic perspective is more abstract. Thus, we need to describe principles of performance based on the Islamic view to enhance nursing practice as per Islamic culture
