Data collection was done between July 2010 and March 2011 on 332 patients and 239 registered nurses. The questionnaires consisted of three parts:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>patients’ and nurses perception on nurses’ information given questionnaire. This questionnaire was developed by the researcher based on the information given record form proposed by the nursing department based on a conceptual framework, Songklanagarind Hospital. The reliability of patients and nurses’ perception on nurses’ information given questionnaire was tested by using Cronbach’s alpha coefficent and it yielded a value of 0.98 and 0.94 respectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Open-ended questions to explore the most wanted information perceived by patients as well as perceived barriers for nurses on the quality of information given regarding patient’s rights. Data was analyzed by frequency distribution, mean score, standard deviation and independent t-test.</span></em></p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: .5in 49.5pt 1.0in;" class="MsoNormal"><em><span style="font-family: "AngsanaUPC","serif"; font-size: 14pt;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The study results revealed the overall patients’ perception on the nurses’ information given was at moderate level (X<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"> </span> = 2.43, S.D.= 0.95).
