Respecting human privacy creates holistic patient-oriented care. The aim of this study was to determine the hospitalized patients' viewpoints concerning their privacy observance. This descriptive, analytic and cross-sectional research administered on 370 patients that selected through the random-stratified sampling in an educational hospital in the Khorramabad in Iran in 2013-2014. Data collected by a questionnaire regarding observance of the patients' privacy by hospital staff, including physical-corporeal, psycho-mental, and informational domains. Data were gathered through constructed interview and analyzed with Independent t-test, One-way ANOVA and Pearson correlation statistical tests. The human privacy of the patients and its physical-corporeal and informational domains were sometimes observed, while the psycho-mental domain was often respected. The privacy observance was significantly lower for men (p=0.000), patients in the emergency department (p=0.000), and the patients who spoke with a local accent (p= 0.016). It seems necessary to train and reinforce the health care providers to respect patients' physical-corporeal and informational privacy consciously, to observe male patients' privacy and using better interpersonal communication skills in dealing with non-Persian language patients. It also seems the structure and design of emergency departments need to be revised in order to protect the privacy of the patients.

“…25 In other societies, however, medical staff of the opposite gender is not allowed to look at naked patients for moral reasons. 26 A study by Cheraghi et al, 35 in Hamedan, Iran, indicated that most nurses and nursing students had an average attitude toward providing care to the opposite-gender patients, 36 revealing that nurses and patients in Iranian society did not have a mutually positive attitude toward receiving care from nurses of the opposite gender…”

“…The scores ranged between 21 and 63, while a higher score indicated more positive attitude. The overall score was divided into three levels of negative (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35), moderate (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49), and positive attitude (50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57)(58)(59)(60)(61)(62)(63).

Background:The imbalance in nurse-to-patient ratio and limited physical space may lead to care provision by a nurse of the opposite gender. On the other hand, the relationship with the opposite gender in Iran is limited due to cultural and religious beliefs. The aim of this study was to investigate patients' attitudes toward receiving care from the opposite gender nurse. Material and Method:This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 200 patients admitted to different hospital wards. The patients were recruited using convenience sampling. Data collection tools comprised of a demographic questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 16) and running descriptive statistics (i.e., χ 2 , independent t test, and linear regression analysis).Results: Male and female patients had 31.8% and 42.6% negative attitudes toward receiving care from the opposite gender, respectively, indicating a statistically significant difference (p = .05). Patients' attitudes had a significant and positive relationship with age, level of education, and experience of receiving care from a nurse of the opposite gender. Conclusion:A significant percentage of patients had a negative attitude toward receiving care from the opposite-gender nurse. Since people's attitudes affect their relationships, it is necessary to provide conditions for assigning the same gender nurse for patients and improving patients' attitudes toward nurses of the opposite gender.

“…Islamic texts reaffirm human dignity as having inherent dignity and argue that all human beings deserve to be dignified due to this inherent dignity, and patients deserve to be honored and respected due to their specific conditions. Regarding nursing texts, in some cases, there is no distinction between dignity and patient respect, which goes back to the practical view of these texts 5,7-9,22,42, 45,47,52,57,59 . However, the general view is that human beings are inherently respectable, and they must be dignified, and patients deserve to be honored and respected due to their specific conditions and needs during a period of illness.…”

Human dignity is regarded as the presupposition of respect for patients. Dignity is associated with different meanings in cultures. In this research was compared dignity in Islamic and nursing texts. Research was done in three stage; definition of dignity based on Islamic texts, definition of dignity based on nursing text, comparison between two definitions. finding showed; both Islam and nursing have Inherent dignity but the origin of dignity differs; in Islam was considered it because human beings were created by God, in nursing human beings are worthy because they are characterized by authority. In Islam Adventitious dignity is other kind of dignity that achieved as the result of obedience to God. Nursing texts consider such criteria as societies' cultures, customs, age, sex, job and beliefs in defining other types of dignity. But, both perspectives take similar approaches that ethics must be based on Inherent dignity. Both perspectives argue that delving into other types of dignity in providing nursing services can create moral problems. Ultimately, nursing texts emphasize the practical aspects whereas the Islamic perspective is more abstract. Thus, we need to describe principles of performance based on the Islamic view to enhance nursing practice as per Islamic culture
