Abstract

In India, adolescents contribute to the majority portion of population. It is a healthy phase of life, but there are many problems which adolescents face and these issues require medical attention for example infectious diseases, nutritional deficiency diseases and mental health problems.1 Adolescents are not expressive and due to lack of knowledge, nurses are not able to provide care as per their individual needs. Therefore, adolescents find it difficult to contact health care providers when they are in need of care. Lack of respectful care is one of the major reasons why adolescents opt to consult their friends and search on media instead of approaching nurses and doctors. As nurses are the ones who are with the patients twenty-four hours, therefore, nurses should be able to provide care which is satisfactory to the adolescents. Adolescents’ satisfaction level is of utmost importance because if this group of the population is satisfied then, they will turn to healthcare facilities to seek help and guidance which is the need of the hour. Therefore, investigator felt a dire need to conduct this study where satisfaction level of adolescents is assessed after training of nurses on Respectful Adolescent Care.
