Analysis reveals the significance of self-respect and community respect in mental healthcare, indicating how dignity influences patient treatment.
Human dignity has been important and in discussion for long in mental healthcare and related regions. Historically, the human rights revolution has emerged from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The dignity can be explained from two separate sources of internal and external dignity. They are self-respect (how I see myself), and respect from other people (how others see me) with related government, country, and community, and so on. The medical team would propose applicable perspectives as human dignity, dignity for identity, dignity of excellence, and attributed dignity. Further crucial factors are valuable for respect, empathy, communication, and autonomy.
