Abstract: (3075 Views)
Background: One of the most fundamental principles that should be considered in the care of the elderly is dignity. This study aims to analyze the concept of dignity in elderly by the Rogers' evolutionary approach. The most relevant concepts to dignity were included respect, independence and privacy of the elderly. There are four types of dignity. One of them is inherent dignity that everyone has it. Merit, moral and personal identity are the other types of dignity. Maintenance of privacy, personal information, proper communication and sensitivity to the needs of the elderly are the precedent of dignity. Identity preservation, personal participation, feeling of security, achieving the satisfaction by old adults, improving the quality of life, happiness, elderly prosperity, and so on are the antecedents of dignity.
Conclusion: Dignity is a complex, abstractive, multidimensional, and evolutionary concept that should be considered as part of careers' thinking in order to provide appropriate nursing care. In this study, some of its most relevant dimensions were clarified in the nursing context, reflecting changes in some of the relevant features and concepts in recent decades. It is necessary that nurses consider them in their daily action.
