Abstract		Human dignity is an abstract concept which needs to be clarified when expecting its efficient use in nursing practice. Wide general explanation of the concept and its further meaning related to practical use in nursing care is presented in the article. The author conducted a qualitative research among Slovenian nurses and nursing technicians. On the basis of open end questions she discovered the extent of modes of patient's dignity respect and also the extent of undignified situations perceived in practice. An analysis of data presents a wide range of positive attitudes that preserve or promote patient's dignity as much as numerous practical experiences of counter-evidence.
Summary		Človekovo dostojanstvo je abstrakten koncept, ki zahteva praktično razlago, če ga želimo ućinkovito spoštovati v praksi. V članku je predstavljena razlaga koncepta na splošni ravni, ki se v nadaljevanju povezuje s praktično uporabo v zdravstveni negi. Avtorica je med medicinskimi sestrami in zdravstvenimi tehniki izvedla kvalitativno raziskavo o zaznavanju oblik spoštovanja človekovega dostojanstva in o zaznavanju oblik ravnanja, ki zmanjšujejo občutek dostojanstva pri bolnikih. Analiza navedb kaže obsežno vsebino zaznavanja pozitivnega ravnanja, ki ohranja ali pospešuje občutek dostojanstva pri bolnikih, kakor tudi številne praktične primere nasprotnega ravnanja.
