This study explored and described the impact of the rights and obligations of nurses on
the delivery of quality patient care in a clinical setting. Quantitative research approach
was utilised. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The research
results revealed that respondents who participated in this study were aware of their
rights and obligations, the effects and impact of factors influencing such rights and
obligations on patient care. It was established that “patient abandonment” observed
when nurses embark on a strike as their constitutionally enshrined right is not due to a
lack of insight about their rights and obligations, but on how such rights and obligations
are implemented.
The researcher recommends that further research be undertaken to explore the causes
of nurses embarking on strike actions despite their high level of knowledge concerning
the impact of such actions on patient care in a clinical setting / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)
