A study was designed to compare patients’ and nurses’ views on the expectations and performance related to ‘respect for patients.’ The subjects of this study, which was approved by an Institutional Review Board, were 276 nurses working in general wards or intensive care units and 172 patients admitted to the general ward of a university hospital in South Korea.?The instrument used in the study was based on the concept of Respect for Patients developed by Yoo Myoung-Ran. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS WIN 12.0 with a paired t-test, independent t-test, and a one way ANOVA. The results were as follows. First, there was a statistically significant difference between nurses’ views of the expectations and performance levels related to respect for patients (p=.000). Second, there was a statistically significant difference between patients’ views of expectations and performance?levels related to respect for patients (p=.000). Third, the level of expectation concerning respect for patients as viewed by nurses and patients was 4.46 and 4.22 respectively. This was a statistically significant difference (p=.000). The level of performance related to respect for patients as viewed by nurses and patients was 3.48 and 3.82 respectively. This too was a statistically significant difference (p=.000). Fourth, there was a statistically significant difference in the level of expectations concerning respect for patients relative to the level of the nurses’ education (p=.015) and a statistically significant difference in the level of performance related to respect for patients relative to the nurses’ working place (p=.001). There was a statistically significant difference in the level of expectations concerning respect for patients relative to patients’ income levels (p=.009) and a statistically significant difference in the level of performance concerning respect for patients relative to patients’ income levels (p=.005) and religion (p=.037).
