Knowledge, Attitudes, and Behavior among Medical Practitioners Towards Medical Treatment Privacy
摘要
目的：了解醫事從業人員對醫療隱私之認知、態度及行為的現況與差異情形。方法：採橫斷面設計方式，以立意抽樣選定中部某區域醫院醫事從業人員為受試對象。問卷採用修訂版「醫療隱私權之認知、態度及行為量表」。經人體試驗倫理委員會同意後發放380份問卷，有效回收313份（82.37%）。結果：以女性、大學程度、未婚、無宗教信仰、非主管、沒有參加病人隱私權相關課程為最多。平均年齡34.34±9.16歲。醫療隱私認知答對率為88%。醫療隱私態度、行為是正向，且態度各構面依序為自主權、身體隱私、隱私政策、資訊隱私。不同人口學變項在醫療隱私認知、態度與行為呈顯著差異。醫療隱私之認知與態度及行為呈無顯著相關，但醫療隱私之態度與行為呈顯著正相關。職稱、醫療隱私態度之身體隱私、自主權對醫療隱私行為具有顯著預測力。結論：醫事從業人員醫療隱私認知答對率高，態度、行為均為正向。建議應持續增進並落實病人隱私的認知、態度與行為。
