Özet: Providing treatment and care in patients' homes can accelerate the patient's recovery and is a more ethical process of neglect and abuse. This makes it important to examine the ethical sensitivity and knowledge of patient rights of healthcare workers, especially those working at home. The ethical sensitivity and knowledge of patient rights of 110 home care students were examined. In this research, the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire and the Patient Rights Knowledge Questionnaire prepared by the researchers were used as a measurement tool. According to the findings of the study, it is seen that female students are more knowledgeable about patient rights than men, and men can provide orientation more easily than women. In our study, it was seen that advancing age increased ethical sensitivity and orientation. In addition, it was determined that ethical sensitivity and orientation increased with increasing patient rights knowledge level. According to our research results; Because of the linear relationship between patient rights and ethical sensitivity, it is recommended that all health workers, especially in the home care area, increase their knowledge on patient rights through courses to be included in the curricula of vocational education and health education students.
