Research Abstract

From 2000 to 2002, we conducted various investigations in order to explore ethical problems in dealing with patients' information from the viewpoint of protection of the privacy of the patients. Despite limited sample size and questionnaire survey methods only, this study has shown several meaningful findings as follows:
1) Perception of privacy of nurses in Japan may not be developed enough yet, therefore they have some difficulties in perceiving privacy of a patient from the viewpoint of professional nurses.
2) Because of limited development of information ethics, when collecting information from the patient, nurses seem to give more priority to a necessity of information for care rather than protection of privacy. On the contrary, in sharing information such as the discharge summary with community nurses, hospital nurses tend to protect patients' information excessively, because there is no criterion for sharing information.
3) It seems that the perception of privacy of patients' information may be influenced by the type of information, to what extent it will be divulged, and with whom.
Of course, patients' information is necessary for their care.
However nurses need to be more sensitive about patients' privacy in collecting the information. This study could present useful information for protection of patients' privacy in their care.
