摘要

Providing compassionate and respectful care is essential to quality health care, and it is the backbone of our health care system. This study was conducted to assess the provision of respectful care and human dignity and its associated factors among healthcare providers in South Gondar hospitals in 2024. A cross-sectional study design was conducted from March 18 to April 18, 2024. From 1177 care providers, 420 study units were selected by the simple random sampling technique. The collected data was entered into Epi Data version 3.1, and it was exported to Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 Windows statistical software for analysis. Factors that have a p-value ≤ 0.25 in binary logistic regression were a candidate for multivariate logistic regression. Factors with a p-value < 0.05 were considered predictors of the outcome variable. Respectful care among health care providers was reported as 52.4%. Income (P = 0.039), professional attitude (P < 0.001), and training (P = 0.032) were significantly associated with respectful care. In this study, about half of the health care providers had good, respectful practices. Healthcare providers should have a positive attitude towards respectful care according to strategy; different stakeholders in health sectors should be involved by providing supplies, facilitating training, and performing continuous monitoring and evaluation.
