Abstract

This study examined the nursing student's preliminary knowledge and awareness of patient's personal information protection. 187 respondents, who were trained in 2 different nursing colleges in Kyungpook province, participated in the survey from May 18 to June 12, 2015. Using the data collected, descriptive statistics, T-test and one-way ANOVA were implemented. As a result, the student nurses, who had heard about the Personal Information Protection Act showed a significantly higher awareness score of patient's personal information protection behavior than those who did not. The respondents educated in personal information protection were reported to have a higher score of awareness about the patient's personal information protection behavior. In this regard, it is vital for university organizers to develop education associated with ethics and information security, which could enhance the perceptions of personal information protection for student nurses before their working career begins.

본 연구의 목적은 학생간호사의 환자 개인정보 보호에 대한 지식과 인식을 조사하여 일반적 특성 중 교육관련 부분에 따른 환자 개인정보 보호행위의 인식 차이를 파악하는 것이다. 연구대상은 경북의 2개 대학의 간호학과에 재학 중인 3, 4학년 187명이며, 2015년 5월 18일부터 6월 12일까지 설문조사하였다. 수집된 자료는 기술통계와 t-test, one-way ANOVA 분석과정을 거쳤다. 연구결과, 학생간호사의 환자 개인정보 보호에 대한 지식은 평균 3.85점(10점 만점)이고, 보호행위에 대한 인식은 3.15점(4점 척도)이었다. 연구결과, 개인정보보호법을 들어본 경험이 있는 학생간호사가 없는 자보다 환자 개인정보 보호행위에 대한 인식점수가 높았으며, 이 차이는 통계적으로 유의하였다. 또한 정보관련 교육 경험자가 받은 경험이 없는 자보다 통계적으로 유의하지는 않았으나, 환자 개인정보 보호행위에 대한 인식의 평균점수가 더 높았다. 이는 인식을 향상시키기 위해 교육경험이 효과적임을 나타낸다. 현재의 분석 결과처럼, 학생간호사들에게 환자 개인정보보호에 대한 윤리의식 강화를 포함한 정보보호 교육이 체계적으로 제공되어야 함을 시사한다.
