dignity
Dignity means respecting the existence and worth of an individual and allowing them to live in their own way while maintaining their humanity.
Human beings have the right to self-determination, self-expression, and self-actualization, and respecting and protecting these rights leads to the protection of dignity.In nursing care as well, it is important to maintain dignity so that the elderly and people with disabilities can live their own lives.For example, by respecting individual preferences and hobbies, enabling self-determination and self-expression, valuing human relationships, and communicating, we can protect the dignity of others.In addition, even in situations where self-determination is not possible, it is necessary to consider individual intentions and values and maintain the utmost dignity.
