“…Therefore, the triage room doors must be closed to ensure patient privacy. According to Koskimies, Koskinen [ 45 ], patients feel uncomfortable when confidentiality and privacy are breached, making sharing important information about their medical condition difficult. TN describe that during triage, patients often withhold certain information or tell different information about their health condition than they later tell the physician.…”

Background Triage is a dynamic process prioritising the patient coming to the emergency department. Caring behaviour and patient safety during the triage process are essential for ensuring a good care experience and treatment outcome. Objective To describe triage nurses’ perceptions on caring behaviors and patient safety in the triage area. Design Strauss and Corbin’s Grounded theory method was used to develop the model. Methods The study was conducted in the emergency department in northeastern Slovenia. Semi-structured interviews were used for data collection, and 19 triage nurses were selected by theoretical sampling, guided by emerging categories between November 2021 and July 2022. The data analysis was conducted according to Strauss and Corbin’s coding framework. Results The analysis of the interviews generated one category: The process of creating a caring and safe triage encounter for the patient, together with two categories that explain the key phenomenon: (1) Triage caring and (2) Safety in the triage process. Within the category “Triage caring”, four subcategories were developed: (1) Assurance of triage nurses’ presence, (2) Connectedness, (3) Respectful attitude, and (4) Knowledge and skills. The category Safety in the triage process consists of three identified subcategories: (1) Conception and perception of safety, (2) Factors influencing patient safety, and (3) Improving the triage safety. Conclusions The triage nurses’ perceptions about caring for the patient and his safety in the triage area show that caring and safety are inseparably linked and coincide when triaging a patient. Namely, caring for the patient means ensuring the patient’s safety at the same time. Implications for the nursing field A better understanding of the importance of triage nurses’ caring behavior and patient safety emerges from the findings, highlighting the challenges faced in a busy emergency department where nurses must balance providing care and responding to patients’ needs while ensuring safety. Findings in the study show that patient care and safety are inseparably linked and coincide when triaging a patient. Moreover, applying caring behaviour during triage encounter results in greater patient safety. No patient or public contribution The study’s design, evaluation of the findings, and execution did not need the involvement of patients or the general public. Participants were triage nurses working in the emergency department. Triage nurses were interviewed about their perceptions of triage nurses on caring behaviors and patient safety during triage encounter.

“…Excessive exposure to patient privacy during surgery could lead to negative emotions such as mistrust ( 9 ), which reduces the effectiveness of treatment and increases the incidence of doctor-patient disputes ( 10 ). Therefore, understanding the extent of patient privacy protection in China is essential to improve satisfaction with healthcare services ( 11 , 12 ).…”

“…As healthcare professionals, increasing awareness of safety and risk in the perioperative environment was critical and can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse events, which in turn can impact the desired goals of patients throughout their treatment ( 13 ). In order to ensure an intimate relationship between patients and medical staff, their right to privacy must be respected ( 12 , 14 , 15 ). Dialog with patients in the perioperative period could build trust between the two sides ( 16 , 17 ) and make patients gain a complete sense of security ( 18 ), thus alleviating patient tension and anxiety to form an excellent doctor-patient atmosphere.…”

BackgroundHealthcare professionals recognize how to protect patient privacy in order to effectively reduce the occurrence of conflict between the two parties. Therefore, understanding the protection of patient privacy during the perioperative period and the relevant factors affecting privacy is essential to improving healthcare delivery.MethodsThis was a cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of 400 perioperative patients. General demographic information, the perioperative privacy scale (PPS), and the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS) were used for the survey. And factors affecting patient privacy were investigated by ANOVA or t-test analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and linear regression models.ResultsThis study found that perioperative patient privacy satisfaction scores were (53.51 ± 12.54). The results of the univariate analysis showed that factors affecting privacy satisfaction included gender, age, and the number of surgeries (p < 0.05). Preoperative anxiety and Information Needs Scale was negatively associated with the perioperative patient privacy satisfaction (r = −0.807, p < 0.01). Further analysis was performed using linear regression models to finally obtain five factors affecting perioperative patient privacy: gender, age, anesthesia modality, the number of surgeries, and the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information.ConclusionHealthcare professionals working in healthcare facilities need to be aware of the sensitivity of different populations to privacy when protecting patient privacy. Patients’ preoperative anxiety and information need status affect privacy satisfaction. This will mean that healthcare professionals will be able to identify key privacy concerns early and take appropriate action.

“… 2 Koskimies et al divided this concept into physical, psychological, social, and informational dimensions. 3 As mentioned in the 1994 Declaration of Patients’ Rights, preserving privacy is one of the fundamental human needs and an important concept in the field of health, treatment, and medical ethics. 4 , 5 Privacy is considered one of the important 5-fold articles in the Iranian Patients’ Rights Charter, in which it is emphasized that providing health must be based on respect for privacy and meeting the confidentiality principles.…”
