Abstract
BACKGROUND
Dignity is a concept that most of us intuitively understand. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that “all human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights”. However, it can be challenging to understand how to translate the concepts of dignity and human rights into the actual practice of care. Dignity Engagement Space for Nurse Education using a Human Rights based Approach [DESNEHRA] is an innovative interdisciplinary project that breaks new ground by adopting a combined focus on a student-centered, co-produced technology-enabled engagement space, supported by creative intellectual thinking about the protection of human dignity.
AIM
To co-produce a Dignity Education Resource using a Human Rights based
Approach.
METHODS
An online survey was completed by 136 nursing students from two Scottish
Universities. The survey captured information on students’ understanding of human rights and dignity; dignity in practice using a case study and methods preferred for dignity education. Nine Co Production Workshops were facilitated by experts in Human Rights Law & Dignity across three sites with students, educators, practitioners, patients and carers.
OUTPUT
DigniSpace is the first online learning space focusing on the concept of dignity (through a consideration of human rights) and is underpinned by the
PANEL (Participation, Accountability, Non-discrimination & Equality, Empowerment and Legality) principles of Human Rights as the overarching framework. Dignispace will support students to interrogate the concept and complexities of Dignity through self-directed reflective learning.
