Perception of patient privacy
HOFREITEROVÁ, Anna
The bachelor's thesis dealt with the issue of patient privacy in hospital facilities. The aim of this work was to find out how patients hospitalized in the inpatient ward perceive privacy, how nurses perceived patient privacy and in what ways nurses ensured the privacy of patients in the inpatient ward. Three research questions were set to investigate how patients hospitalized in an inpatient ward perceive privacy. Furthermore, they focused on the nurses' view of the perception of patient privacy and the ways in which nurses ensure the privacy of patients hospitalized in the inpatient ward. In the theoretical part, the work defines basic terms related to patient privacy, such as the duty of confidentiality, providing information with the patient's consent, providing information without the patient's consent, patients' rights, medical documentation, human needs and ensuring the privacy of patients during selected nursing procedures. In order to achieve the goal, the qualitative research method, the interview method and the semi-structured interview technique were used for patients hospitalized in the internal inpatient ward and for the nurses caring for these patients, as well as for patients hospitalized in the surgical inpatient ward and for the nurses caring for these patients. The research sample consisted of 6 patients and 5 nurses. The results of the obtained data led to the finding that the nurses had adequate knowledge regarding the issue of dealing with sensitive patient information. Nurses had adequate knowledge of procedures to protect patient privacy, although not all nurses used these procedures in practice. The research investigation further revealed that patients hospitalized in inpatient wards often did not think about their own privacy in the hospital environment, and the issue of privacy was a problematic and difficult topic for them to talk about. If the management of the investigated hospital is interested in the results of the investigation, they will be provided with them.

Fedrová, Michaela ; Sovová, Olga (advisor) ; Císařová, Dagmar (referee)

They show that when caring for a patient with dementia, general nurses see the main problems in his decreased ability to cooperate, behavioral changes, which often appear as a result of environment change, and difficult communication.
