“…This may have led the patients to think that more attention was being paid to their physical privacy. The results of the studies conducted by Ak et al (2020) with student nurses, and Bostan and Ünal (2019) with patients also support these views. Similarly, in the study by Kim et al (2017), it was reported that women may be more sensitive to physical and personal privacy than men.…”

“…Further, sometimes privacy of the patient can be sacrificed to protect them against environmental risks or to save their lives (Tehrani et al, 2018). Moreover, the technological advances that have taken place in the recent years have made it difficult to ensure patient privacy and confidentiality (Ak et al, 2020; Klosek, 2011). The transition to a digital recording system in healthcare services has increased the quality of service delivery but has also compromised the security of patient information (Akar et al, 2019).…”

Aims To determine whether nurses respect or violate patient privacy by comparing nurses’ and patients’ opinions. Background Although nurses want to respect patient privacy, they can sometimes violate patient privacy or not pay enough attention. Method This comparative and cross‐sectional study was conducted with 357 patients and 305 nurses in 12 public hospitals in Trabzon, Turkey. Data were collected with an information form and the Patient Privacy Scale. Reporting is consistent with the STROBE checklist for cross‐sectional studies. Results The total mean score of the patient privacy scale was 4.6 ± 0.39 for nurses and 4.5 ± 0.41 for patients, and no significant difference was found between their scores (U = 52999.0; p = .554). Further, the nurses (U = 14358.0; p = .000) and the patients (U = 13272.5; p = .006) in the public hospitals had statistically significantly higher overall privacy scores than those in the training and research hospitals. The overall privacy scale scores were higher and more statistically significant in the patients hospitalised in surgical clinics than those hospitalised in clinics for internal diseases (U = 8514.0; p = .005) and in single compared to married patients (U = 12364.5; p = .034). Conclusion Nurses respected patient privacy highly according to both nurses and patients, and there was no significant difference between their views. However, nurses working in training and research hospitals and internal diseases clinics need to improve their approaches to patient privacy. Relevance to clinical practice The results of this study could be used to reduce patient privacy vulnerabilities in complex hospitals and clinics such as training and research hospitals and to improve institutional policies and activities regarding patient privacy. By comparing the results of patients and nurses, the study provided more consistent and accurate data about patient privacy.

“…The findings showed that several factors were effective on patients’ spiritual-religious privacy in ICUs. In numerous studies, religion and spirituality have been identified as factors affecting the understanding of patient privacy ( 26 , 34 ). Based on the findings of a qualitative exploratory study in Isfahan, Iran, spiritual care had different dimensions and its provision required sufficient knowledge and expertise as well as close inter-professional cooperation.…”

In intensive care units (ICUs), patient privacy is of particular importance due to the structure of the ward environment and the critical situation of the patients. The aim of this study was to identify the dimensions of patient privacy in ICUs. For this purpose, a descriptive-qualitative-exploratory study was performed. The data collection methods included observations and interviews, which were handwritten and analyzed using qualitative content analysis with a conventional approach. A total of 27 participants were selected based on purposeful sampling and with maximum diversity of health-care providers and recipients. The study environment was the ICUs of two selected hospitals affiliated to the medical sciences universities of Isfahan and Tehran, Iran. The data were analyzed into 4 classes and 12 subclasses. The classes included physical, informational, psychosocial, and spiritual- religious privacy. Findings of the present study identified hidden layers of patient privacy as a multidimensional concept that is influenced by various factors. In order to provide holistic care, preparing the grounds for patient privacy and familiarizing the staff with its various dimensions seem necessary.

Protecting patient privacy has many components, even though the data are in electronic format. Although patient privacy is thoroughly discussed in the literature, there is no study presenting all components of patient privacy protection. Methods: In this study, a complete evaluation framework is presented, as an evaluation tool, an inventory is developed, reliability and validity of the inventory is examined. Study is conducted in three phases: Conceptual framework development, inventory development and an evaluation case study. In the evaluation, fuzzy conjoint analysis is employed to handle the subjectivity and am-biguity. As the result of the evaluation, the institution is given a patient privacy protection ma-turity grade, between 1 and 5, where 1 is the worst and 5 is the best grade. Results: In the case study, XXX’s biggest hospital, employing 800 nurses, is evaluated. Half of the nurses, 400, have partici-pated in the study. Literature tells healthcare institutions do not invest enough to protect patient privacy, and the study results support this finding. Institution’s maturity grade resulted as level 2, which is bad. Conclusion: The study measures he privacy maturity with many evaluation com-ponents. Result of the evaluation explains to the patients and the public if their data is safe or not. With this maturity grade, patients have an idea about which institution to choose, public can conclude the institutions’ reliability in terms of patient privacy.
