The investigation, which is a defining type, was carried out in order to investigate the conditions of knowledge of the rights of patients in a university hospital’s surgical clinics. The sample of the study included 281 patients aged 18 and older who were able to communicate and agree to participate in the study. In the data collection, the patient rights form was used, created according to the literature, which assessed whether the rights of the patients know or not. The data was evaluated by percentage distribution, t test, ANOVA and Kruskal Wallis variance analysis. The Patient Rights Information Point (HHBP) was evaluated by 17 points and the HHBP average was 11.67 ±3.32. Compared to education, the HHBP average is 9.75 (SS=5.23) in read-writer patients and 15.08 (SS=2) in university graduates. The difference between the HHBP average is significant (KWx2=42.379, P=.000). Compared to the patient’s clinic, the HHBP average is meaningful between 10.35 (SS=5.88) in the General Surgery Clinic and 13.56 (SS=4.50) in the Breast Surgery Clinic (KWx2=14.446, p= .013). More than half of the patients know the rights of the patient. Patients have noted that they have the right to have a lot of accompaniment in the clinics they are in, and that they have the right to ask for information about their health status orally and in writing.
