Abstract: (647 Views)
Background and Objectives: Respecting the patient’s privacy is the basic principle for building trust in the treatment staff, including nurses. Nurses’ awareness of the principles of patient privacy protection and training how to gain the patient trust have attracted the attention of researchers and hospital managers. This study aims to compare patient privacy protection in inpatient and emergency departments of a hospital in Qom, Iran and assess its relationship with patient trust in nurses.
Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study and was conducted in 2021-2022. Participants were 110 patients from the emergency department and 110 patients from the inpatient departments of Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Qom City. They were selected using a convenience sampling method. Data collection tools included a sociodemographic form, Tehrani et al.’s privacy scale in hospitalized patients and Radwin & Cabral’s trust in nurses scale (TNS). Data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation test in SPSS software, version 21.
Results: In the inpatient departments, the TNS score was higher than in the emergency department (89.03±13.11 vs 84.51±13.92). In the inpatient departments, the highest score of privacy scale was in the psychosocial domain (83.56±17.09) and the lowest score was in the personal domain (77.15±22.89). The highest score of privacy scale in the emergency department was in the personal domain (74.14±22.4) and the lowest score was in the spiritual-religious dimension (63.86±20.73). There was a significant correlation between patient privacy and patient trust in nurses (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The increase in respecting for patient privacy can increase patient trust in nurses. Nursing managers can increase patients’ trust in nurses by providing patient privacy educational courses to nurses in the emergency and inpatient departments.
