| Background: Nurses play a vital role in the healthcare system, providing continuous 24-hour care to hospitalized patients. Nurses established themselves as an essential element of other disciplines within the hospitals. Aim: The present study aimed to assess nurses' perception toward their professional rights and its' relation to their job satisfaction, professional and organizational commitment. Design: A descriptive correlational design was utilized to achieve the aim of the present study. Sample: A convenient sample (n=118) of nurses who working at Internal Medicine Hospital and who agreed to participate in the study were included. Setting: The study was conducted at Internal Medicine hospital at Cairo University Hospitals. Tool: Four questionnaires were used as follow; nurses ' perception toward their professional rights, nurses` job satisfaction scale, nurses` professional commitment questionnaire and nurses` organizational commitment questionnaire. Conclusion: The current study concluded that, more than half of the sample was perceived their professional rights and more than half of the sample was satisfied with their job and more than half of the sample was not committed to nursing profession, while, near to the half of the sample was committed to their organization. Moreover, there was a highly statistically negative correlation between staff nurses' professional rights and their job satisfaction. In addition, there was significant positive correlation between nurses` professional and organizational commitment and nurses` perception about their rights. Recommendation: Increasing the awareness of nursing personnel about their professional rights by holding workshops and lectures on a regular basis through the training and education department team in the hospital and monitor and report hospice professional nurse's turnover rates periodically in light of management's enhanced focus on improving nurses` satisfaction, professional and organizational nurse's commitment. | ||
