Abstract:
Objective To investigate the cognition status and possible ways of patients′ privacy divulgence among medical staffs and patients, and to explore feasible strategies to protect the privacy. Methods A self-designed questionnaire about privacy cognition was used to investigate 92 patients and 59 medical staffs on one day in July 2014. Results The majority of patients had certain cognition of individual privacy;34. 8%, 30. 4% and 28. 3% of the patients thought the test outcomes, history of infection, illness conditions were private issues;63. 0%, 39. 1% and 31. 5% of the patients thought the perineum, pygal and chest were private parts. Medical staffs had significant higher privacy cognition compared with the patients ( P<0. 05);86. 4%, 86. 4% and 78. 0% of the staffs thought the emotional experiences, the history of infection, test outcomes were private issues;100. 0%, 89. 8% and 86. 4% of the staffs thought the perineum, pygal and chest were private parts. The private information of the patients would be divulged during the medical care such as:patient rounds and physical examinations, asking for the history of the illness, nursing, room layout, and talking between the medical staffs. Conclusions The medical staffs should enhance and motivate the concept of privacy among the patients in order to reduce the differences between these two groups and to improve the relationship between doctors and patients.
