Nurses’ Experiences of Violations of Their Own Dignity in Psychiatric Inpatient Settings

Dignity is a core concept in nursing care. This study highlights dignity as an important ethical concern in psychiatric inpatient settings since both caregivers and patients must struggle with being in situations where their dignity can be violated. Our findings show that caregivers violate nurses’ dignity by violating acts and patients’ actions violate nurses’ dignity. The new understanding shows that nurses in psychiatric inpatient settings are highly exposed to patient’s outward behavior. Unfortunately, other caregivers violate nurses’ dignity, as patients are dependent which makes their existence uncertain. Findings are interpreted and discussed in the light of caring theory of human dignity.
