Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status quo of patient privacy protection behavior of clinical nurses and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, clinical nurses from tertiary hospitals in China were selected to conduct a questionnaire survey on from March to April 2018. The Chinese version of Patient Privacy Scale (PPS) were used to conduct an investigation through Questionnaire Star electronic questionnaire. A total of 1, 043 valid questionnaires were collected, and the effective response rate was 100%.Results:The PPS total score of 1 043 clinical nurses was (124.86±12.16) . The item with the highest score was "You would use screens, curtains and sheets to protect patients' privacy when necessary" (4.89±0.39) , while the item with the lowest score was "You would knock on the door before entering the patient's room and enter after asking for the patient's consent" (4.11±1.14) . The results of multiple regression analysis showed that education level and department had effects on patients' privacy protection behavior ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The patient privacy protection behavior of clinical nurses is generally at a good level, but there is still room for improvement in individual behaviors. Teaching hospitals should strengthen education related to patient privacy protection for nurses with higher education degree who undertake teaching tasks and nurses in surgical monitoring departments and formulate specific relevant teaching procedures and detailed rules.
